Building component schemata of an heterogeneous federated database with the IFO2 model

  • Conference paper
OOIS’94

Abstract

The bottom-up development process of an heterogeneous federated database schemata is divided into four steps. The first one consists in translating a local schema into a common data model. This paper offers a method to transform a relational schema into an equivalent object-oriented (00) one. The purpose of our work is to improve the communication between different databases administrators when analysing and comparing schemata, two stages which precede schemata integration. The common data model we are using is the IFO2 model (Poncelet et al., 1993a). We translate a relational schema into three stages: deduction of the basic types, deduction of edges andfunctions, deduction offragments.
