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,...
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...
A survey of database design transformations based on the Entity-Relationship model
At present, the Entity-Relationship (ER) model is the most important paradigm for conceptual database design. Since the model was...
Evolution of entity–relationship modelling
New modelling languages are continually being developed. Some of them are variants of existing ones, others are completely different,...
