Modularization and Automatic Composition of Object-Role Modeling (ORM) Schemes
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we present a framework and algorithm for modularization and composition of ORM schemes. The main goals of modularity are to enable and increase reusability, maintainability, distributed development of ORM schemes. Further, we enable effective browsing and management of such schemes through libraries of ORM schema modules. For automatic composition of modules, we present and implement a composition operator: all atomic concepts and their relationships (i.e. fact-types) and all constraints, across the composed modules, are combined together to form one schema (called modular schema).

Unsatisfiability Reasoning in ORM Conceptual Schemes
ORM (Object-Role Modeling) is a rich and well-known conceptual modeling method. As ORM has a formal semantics, reasoning tasks such as satisfiability checking of an ORM schema naturally arise. Satisfiability checking allows a developer to automatically detect contradicting constraints. However, no complete satisfiability checker is known for ORM. In this paper, we revisit existing patterns from...
متن کاملPreparing business rules templates and object role modelling for transformations
It is common for business people to operate with natural language statements. BR (BR) in this sense can be presented using the variation of structural language – BR templates. However, BR templates are not formal enough to be automatically processed. Furthermore, BR templates have to be in consistence with enterprise model, especially with its static structures – business objects. Object role m...
متن کاملObject-Role Modeling (ORM/NIAM)
Object-Role Modeling (ORM) is a method for modeling and querying an information system at the conceptual level, and mapping between conceptual and logical (e.g. relational) levels. ORM comes in various flavors, including NIAM (Natural language Information Analysis Method). This article provides an overview of ORM, and notes its advantages over Entity Relationship and traditional Object-Oriented...

متن کاملUML Data Models From An ORM Perspective
This paper is the sixth in a series of articles examining data modeling in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) from the perspective of Object Role Modeling (ORM). Part 1 discussed historical background, design criteria for modeling languages, object reference and single-valued attributes. Part 2 covered multi-valued attributes, basic constraints, and instantiation using UML object diagrams or O...
