Semantic interoperability of multitemporal relational databases
Interoperability is concerned with the interaction of databases of different kinds. In this paper we consider semantic interoperability between...
Modeling time: Adequacy of three distinct time concepts for temporal databases
In this paper we present newly elaborated time concepts for precise and lossless information preservation in temporal databases. First...
Towards a unifying logic formalism for semantic data models
In the paper we look for the solution of two problems: the unification of various paradigms of semantic database...
Enhancing the quality of conceptual database specifications through validation
In this article, we present a validation approach and method to support the development of database applications. We explain...
Integration of heterogeneous object schemas
In a heterogeneous database system which consists of object databases, a global schema created by integrating schemas of the...
Functional dependencies generalized for temporal databases that include object-identity
Normalization theory for relational databases is based on the construct of functional dependency. In this paper, we extend the...
The role of meta models in federating system modelling techniques
Given the large number of system modelling techniques currently available, and the continual need to develop new and improved...
Temporal extensions to a uniform behavioral object model
We define temporal extensions to a uniform, behavioral and functional object model by providing an extensible set of structural...
TOOSQL- a temporal object-oriented query language
This paper proposes a temporal, object-oriented query language called TOOSQL which has an SQL-like syntax and compares it with...
A taxonomy for schema versioning based on the relational and Entity Relationship Models
Recently there has been increasing interest in both the problems and the potential of accommodating evolving schema in databases,...
