An approach to maintaining optimized relational representations of entity-relationship schemas
This paper presents a redesign method for maintaining optimized relational representations of entity-relationship schemas. This method is based on...
Transforming conceptual models to object-oriented database designs: Practicalities, properties, and peculiarities
More work is needed on devising practical, but theoretically well-founded procedures for doing object-oriented database (OODB) design. Besides being...
Representing partial spatial information in databases
In this paper we present a spatial data model which facilitates the representation of and reasoning with various forms...
Process knowledge modeling
Knowledge is connected to a subject (a theory, a lesson) but Process Knowledge is connected to an object and...
The conceptual database design optimizer CoDO — Concepts, implementation, application
Traditional database design does not consider operational behavior in detail. In this way, tuning is a frequent requirement after...
ConQuer: A conceptual query language
Relational query languages such as SQL and QBE are less than ideal for end user queries since they require...
Using structural recursion as query mechanism for data models with references
Despite the fact that nearly all important data models include a concept for (explicit) references or referencial integrity, a...
A modular design strategy for a flexible graphical database design environment: An experimental study
This paper informally introduces a modular design strategy embedded in our graphical database design environment underlying graph grammar formalism...
A generative approach to database federation
This paper introduces a comprehensive, specification-based approach to database federation, supporting an integrated ODMG-93 conforming access to object-oriented and...
Graph based modeling and implementation with EER/GRAL
This paper gives a cohesive approach to modeling and implementation with graphs. This approach uses extended entity relationship (EER)...
