SQL_2_HTML: Automatic Generation of HTML Database Schemas
نویسنده
چکیده
The ongoing development of our relational database based system administration package, Simon, requires frequent reference to documentation that describes the existing database tables. To this end we have written a program that uses descriptive information stored in the database itself, to generate a WWW tree that documents each table in HTML, as well as an index page to tie the whole package together. This has made looking up table definitions simply a click or two away and has proven to be very useful. These HTML pages are now also being included in some of our program documentation of the Simon system.

The idea of automatic generation of data entry forms based on data relational models is a common and known idea that has been discussed day by day more than before according to the popularity of agile methods in software development accompanying development of programming tools. One of the requirements of the automation methods, whether in commercial products or the relevant research projects, ...
متن کاملOntology Development for the Semantic Web: an HTML Form-Based Reverse Engineering Approach
The rapid growth of the Internet makes information available anywhere and anytime. Most businesses run Web-based front-end databases upon which online services are offered to end-users. The next generation of the Web, the semantic Web, seeks to offer data in a usable form for automatic reasoning. To this purpose, it is necessary to make existing database content ready-to-use for semantic Web ap...
متن کاملAutomatic and Manual Annotation Using Flexible Schemas for Adaptation on the Semantic Desktop
Adaptive Hypermedia builds upon the annotation and adaptation of content. As manual annotation has proven to be the main bottleneck, all means for supporting it by reusing automatically generated metadata are helpful. In this paper we discuss two issues. The first is the integration of a generic AH authoring environment MOT into a semantic desktop environment. In this setup, the semantic deskto...
متن کاملOntology Markup for Web Forms Generation
Ontologies are promising to become the keystones of the Semantic Web. The realisation of this promise requires that adequate approaches to model, represent, and mark up ontologies on the Web are developed. This paper presents an approach to model ontologies as populated conceptual schemas and to implement them using XML tools and relational databases. The issue of marking up these ontologies wi...
متن کاملAdvanced Query Mechanisms for Biological Databases
Existing query interfaces for biological databases are either based on fixed forms or textual query languages. Users of a fixed form-based query interface are limited to performing some pre-defined queries providing a fixed view of the underlying database, while users of a free text query language-based interface have to understand the underlying data models, specific query languages and applic...
