Fundamentals of cardinality constraints
The Entity-Relationship model is frequently used during conceptual database design phases. However, this model can be enriched and then...
Transformation-based database reverse engineering
This is an abstract of a revision of the original paper (ER'93 pre-proceedings) that presents a DBMS-independent database reverse...
Evaluation of complex cardinality constraints
In a previous paper, the valence concept, a general method to describe relationships, has been introduced along with a...
Integrating the ER approach in an OO environment
We translate Entity-Relationship (ER) schemas into the object-oriented specification language TROLL light. This language describes the Universe of Discourse...
An extended entity-relationship approach to data management in object-oriented systems
Database programming in object-oriented systems can be supported by combining data modelling and programming technologies such that a data...
On mapping ER and relational models into OO schemas
The Entity-Relationship model (ER model) views data in the form of entities and relationships. The Object-Oriented model (OO model)...
A repository meta model for interactive systems
Developers of interactive systems need a design process that looks ahead to expose conflicting implications of decisions made by...
ER-based Information Retrieval in a mixed database environment
This paper presents an integrated Four Tools approach to providing an ER-based Information Retrieval Interface for mixed database environments,...
A framework for automatic clustering of semantic models
This article is concerned with the development, application and implication of automatic clustering of Entity-Relationship (E-R) diagrams and object...
Extending ER model clustering by relationship clustering
The entity relationship approach is a widely accepted method for conceptual database design. However, some problems arise if ER...
