Inferring the User Interface from an EER Data Schema
نویسنده
چکیده
Much of the work on automatic user interface (UI) generation has met with limited success because of the added load on the human designer to use specialized scripts for UI specification. In this research in progress, we propose a methodology applicable to database driven systems that a) automatically infers a draft interface directly from an extended entity relationship (EER) model schema and b) lists the interactions that need to take place between the designer and the tool in order to generate the final user schema.

An EER Prototyping Environment and its Implemetation in a Datalog Language
In this paper we present an approach to represent schema information, application data and integrity constraints as a datalog program. The schema information is supplied as an enhanced entity relationship (EER) model which is transformed by a one-to-one mapping into a set of ground facts. The application data corresponding to the schema is represented by ground facts as well by using a single p...
متن کاملConflict Resolution and Reconciliation in Multidatabase S..
A multidatabase system is built upon a number of existing database systems. It requires an interface to allow users to access global heterogeneous information within a reconciled platform as well as to maintain the data consistence and integrity among existing database systems. As a result, a higher level semantic global database schema is needed. The global schema is a single schema derived fr...
متن کاملResolving the "Weak Status" of Weak Entity Types in Entity-Relationships Schemas
Entity Relationship schemas include weak entity types, whose entities are identified by their inter-relationships to other entities. During the translation of the EER schema into a logical database schema, the weak entity types are either translated into logical units of the database (a relation or a class), or are embedded as attributes of other logical units. Formal studies of EER schemas eit...

متن کاملEngineering truly automated data integration and translation systems
This thesis presents an automated, data-driven integration process for relational databases. Whereas previous integration methods assumed a large amount of user involvement as well as the availability of database meta-data, we make no use of meta-data and little end user input. This is done using a novel join and translation finding algorithm that searches for the proper key / foreign key relat...
