Temporal and versioning model for schema evolution in object-oriented databases
In this paper we define the Temporal and Versioning Model for Schema Evolution (TVSE), a model that uses time...
ROVER: flexible yet consistent evolution of relationships
Relationships have been repeatedly identified as an important object-oriented modeling construct. Most emerging modeling standards such as the object...
Formal deadlock elimination in an object oriented conceptual schema
Object oriented models model structural and behavioural aspects of objects in the Universe of Discourse. As the dynamic aspects...
Object-oriented database schema analysis and inheritance processing: A graph-theoretic approach
In this paper we address the inheritance process in the context of strongly typed Object-oriented database (OODB) systems, allowing...
Dependency preserving refinements and the fundamental problem of database design
We introduce a new point of view into database schemes by applying systematically an old logical technique: translation schemes,...
Default databases: Extending the approach of deductive databases using default logic
Extending the relational data model using classical logic to give deductive databases has some significant benefits. In particular, classical...
Conceptual language for statistical data modeling
We describe a new language for statistical data modeling. The language offers a general framework for the representation of...
Entity-relationship and object-oriented data modeling – an experimental comparison of design quality
We compare EER and OO data models from the point of view of design quality. Quality is measured in...
Semantic similarity relations and computation in schema integration
Schema integration plays an important part in research areas of heterogeneous information systems and semantic interoperability. How to acquire...
Different roles and mutual dependencies of data, information, and knowledge- An AI perspective on...
The unclear distinction between data, information, and knowledge has impaired their combination and utilization for the development of integrated...
