Summary Graphs for Relational Database Schemas
Increasingly complex databases need ever more sophisticated tools to help users understand their schemas and interact with the data. Existing tools fall short of either providing the “big picture,” or of presenting useful connectivity information. In this paper we define summary graphs, a novel approach for summarizing schemas. Given a set of user-specified query tables, the summary graph autom...
متن کاملDomination Normal Form - Decomposing Relational Database Schemas
A common approach in designing relational databases is to start with a universal relation schema, which is then decomposed into multiple subschemas. A good choice of subschemas can be determined using integrity constraints defined on the schema, such as functional, multivalued or join dependencies. In this paper we propose and analyze a new normal form based on the idea of minimizing overall st...
متن کاملAutomatic Integration of Relational Database Schemas
This paper focuses on capturing the semantics of data stored in databases with the goal of integrating data sources within a company, across a network, and even on the World-Wide Web. Our approach to capturing data semantics revolves around the definition of a standardized dictionary which provides terms for referencing and categorizing data. These standardized terms are then stored in semantic...
متن کاملReverse Engineering of OO constructs in Object-Relational Database Schemas
Reverse engineering applied to databases permits to extract a conceptual schema that represents, at a higher level of abstraction, the database implementation. This resulting conceptual schema may be used to facilitate, among others, system maintenance, evolution and reuse. In the last years, the use of object-relational constructs was incorporated into database development. However, reverse en...
متن کاملDiscovering Simple Mappings Between Relational Database Schemas and Ontologies
Ontologies proliferate with the growth of the Semantic Web. However, most of data on the Web are still stored in relational databases. Therefore, it is important to establish interoperability between relational databases and ontologies for creating a Web of data. An effective way to achieve interoperability is finding mappings between relational database schemas and ontologies. In this paper, w...
