Handling Semi - Structured Data through anExtended Object - Oriented Data

چکیده
In traditional database applications the structure of data is pre-deened, and data are entered into the database specifying the schema element (relation or class, depending on the paradigm) they belong to. New emerging database applications, expecially those related to the Web, are characterized by data that have an irregular, heterogeneous, partial structure that quickly evolves. In this paper we adapt an object-oriented data model to this kind of data, by providing it with more exible type system and by weakening the conditions for membership of an object to a class. An approach to classify objects, created without specifying the class they belong to, in the most appropriate class of the schema, is also proposed.

Representation of Map Objects with Semi-Structured Data Models
Mapping agencies world-wide produce a range of different types of maps, in efforts to meet different user requirements. These maps are usually designed in a digital environment and some of them are distributed through the World Wide Web. One important issue for those agents is the appropriate modelling and handling of map objects from which the digital maps are composed. , This paper focuses on...
متن کاملProcessing Semi-Structured Data in Object Bases
We address the problem of null values and other forms of semi-structured data in object-oriented databases. Various aspects and issues concerning semi-structured data that are currently presented in the literature are discussed in the paper. We propose a new universal approach to semi-structured data based on the idea of absent objects. The idea covers null values and union types and can be smo...
متن کاملMaintaining Semi-structured Spatio-Temporal Data Based on Nesting-Relation-Oriented Model
semi-structured spatio-Temporal data has become prevalent with growth of GIS. In this paper, we propose to use “Nested” natural of spatio-Temporal data to storing & maintaining it efficiently in an Object-Relational Database based on Nesting-Relation-Oriented data Model– one of N1NF database. This model not only reflects the nested structure of semi-structured spatio-Temporal data, but also dis...
متن کاملWeb Data Warehousing Convergence: From Schematic to Systematic
AbstRAct This paper proposes a data warehouse integration technique that combines data and documents from different underlying documents and database design approaches. The well-defined and structured data such as Relational, Object-oriented and Object Relational data, semi-structured data such as XML, and unstructured data such as HTML documents are integrated into a Web data warehouse system....
