The Entity-Relationship model (ER model) views data in the form of entities and relationships. The Object-Oriented model (OO model) views data as classes, types and their subtypes. A mapping procedure that considers various features of the ER model and transforms the ER schema and its associated relational schema into an OO schema is proposed. The mapping rules are illustrated with appropriate examples. A procedure for mapping constraints on the ER database into the OO schema is then discussed. Finally, OO representations are developed for ER schema operations.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/BFb0024383
