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...
Consistency enforcement in Entity-Relationship and object-oriented models
Integrity Maintenance is considered one of the major application fields of rule triggering systems (RTSs). Whenever a given integrity...
Decomposing relationship types by pivoting and schema equivalence
In the relational data model, the problem of data redundancy has been successfully tackled via decomposition. In advanced data...
View-based model-driven architecture for enhancing maintainability of data access services
In modern service-oriented architectures, database access is done by a special type of services, the so-called data access services...
