A selective survey of the use of artificial intelligence for database design systems
One of the significant developments of research in Artificial Intelligence and databases is the adoption of knowledge-based techniques for...
Detecting summarizability in OLAP
The industry trend towards self-service business intelligence is impeded by the absence, in commercially-available information systems, of automated identification...
Complete rules for n-ary relationship cardinality constraints
An extended approach is presented for modeling data relationships that involve multiple entities. This approach unifies the relationship cardinality...
CLIPS–OWL: A framework for providing object-oriented extensional ontology queries in a production rule engine
In this paper, we define a framework, namely CLIPS–OWL, for enabling the CLIPS production rule engine to represent the...
Reducing the search space for conceptual schema transformation
In this paper we focus on the transformation of a conceptual schema into an internal schema. For a given...
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,...
