Abstract

In this paper, we propose an approach and a general schema of algorithms for automatic detection of conflicts between schema and underlying object base. Our approach is distinguishable by first discovering schema from given set of objects and then comparing it to the existing schema for discovery of schema conflicts. The approach is based on the comparison of the two inheritance lattices: one constructed on the basis of class library and another discovered from object base using one of the general conceptual classification methods.
