Semantic Object Model and Flat XML Schema
نویسندگان
چکیده
Generally, conceptual data models, such as E-R, NIAM, ORM, and UML, are used for modeling relational database schema. Another object database schema design, e.g. Semantic Object Model (SOM), is employed. We use SOM in our research work. The reasons, SOM can capture more meaning of an application environment and provides richer data structuring capabilities. Therefore, it is a powerful approach for constructing database applications. On the other hand, the Extensible Markup Language (XML) becomes a popular data transfer language between database applications with different platform. So far, research and tools for transforming SOM into flat XML Schema still does not conduct. The research project presented in this paper aims to: (1) assist understanding and documentation SOM conceptual data model and (2) propose an algorithm for transforming SOM into flat XML Schema.

Solving Schema Conversion Problem between XML and Relational Models: Semantic Approach
Schema conversion problem aims to convert a source schema S in the given model M1 to an equivalent target schema T in the desired model M2. In this paper, we especially study schema conversion problem between XML and relational models. We present three semantics-based schema conversion algorithms: 1) CPI converts an XML schema to a relational schema while preserving semantic constraints of the ...
متن کاملSchema Conversion Methods between XML and Relational Models
In this chapter, three semantics-based schema conversion methods are presented: 1) CPI converts an XML schema to a relational schema while preserving semantic constraints of the original XML schema, 2) NeT derives a nested structured XML schema from a flat relational schema by repeatedly applying the nest operator so that the resulting XML schema becomes hierarchical, and 3) CoT takes a relatio...
متن کاملFrom XML Schema to Object-Relational Database - An XML Schema-Driven Mapping Algorithm
Since XML becomes a crucial format for representing information, it is necessary to establish techniques for managing XML documents. A possible solution can be found in storing XML data in (object-)relational databases. For this purpose most of the existing techniques often exploit an XML schema of the stored XML data, usually expressed in DTD. But the more complex today’s applications are, the...
متن کاملRule-Based Generation of XML Schemas from UML Class Diagrams
We present an approach of how to automatically extract an XML document structure from a conceptual data model that describes the content of the document. We use UML class diagrams as the conceptual model that can be represented in XML syntax (XMI). The algorithm we present in the paper is implemented as a set of rules using XSLT stylesheets that transform the UML class diagram into an adequate ...
متن کاملResolving Structural Conflicts in the Integration of XML Schemas: A Semantic Approach
While the Internet has facilitated access to information sources, the task of scalable integration of these heterogeneous data sources remains a challenge. The adoption of the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) as the standard for data representation and exchange has led to an increasing number of XML data sources, both native and non-native. Recent integration work has mainly focused on developi...
