Abstract

This article deals with some of the basis of the reasoning behind conceptual normalisation and briefly describes how relational and object normalisation can be derived from it. This contribution is only an introduction to this very interesting, serious and infrequently discussed issue. Nor is it a comprehensive paper covering all particular problems and questions and offers precise mathematical proofs of authors’ theses presented herein. The idea of this contribution is to create a proper starting point for the discussion of this issue in the frame of an international expert community engaging in conceptual, object and data modelling.
