Design of statistical databases: A methodology for the conceptual step

The aim of the conceptual step in database design is to describe data involving in the application in a formal and abstract way, without any concern to the specific model and language chosen for the implementation. In statistical applications, data are described at different levels of aggregation, from elementary facts of the reality to complex aggregations such as classifications, time series, indexes. The paper describes a methodology for conceptual design of statistical databases that provides the designer suitable strategies for defining such different levels of aggregation starting from user requirements, and checking the completeness, coherence and minimality of the conceptual schema at the different levels. The methodology makes use of two data models for the representation of data: for elementary data the Entity-Relationship model, widely used in database applications, and for summary data a new model is proposed, designed to be an effective trade-off between expressive power and simplicity of use.     

Important features of Iris OSQL

OSQL is the object-oriented database language developed for the Iris object-oriented database management system at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories. Its three fundamental constructs are objects, types, and functions. This paper provides an overview of the underlying concepts and some important features of OSQL.     

具有多值约束的线性递归查询的有效计算

本文给出三个算法,分别用于把给定的右线性、左线性或左-右线性递归程序改写为一组更有效的规则.与Ullman等人的变换算法不同,本文的算法允许查询的初始约束可以是含任意多个约束元组的集合,而不必是单值的;这样,本文的算法不仅可以用于查询的求值,而且也可以用于子目标的处理.变换算法的正确性和变换后规则的有效性也在本文简略讨论.

An interface between object-oriented databases and relational databases

Currently relational databases are widely used, while object-oriented databases are emerging as a new generation of database technology. This paper presents a methodology to provide effective sharing of information in object-oriented databases and relational databases. The object-oriented data model is selected as a common data model to build an integrated view of the diverse databases. An object-oriented query language is used as a standard query language. A method is developed to transform a relational data definition to an equivalent object-oriented data definition and to integrate local data definitions. Two distributed query processing methods are derived. One is for general queries and the other for a special class of restricted queries. Using the methods developed, it is possible to access distributed object-oriented databases and relational databases such that the locations and the structural differences of the databases are transparent to users.     

关系数据库在专家系统中的应用

在传统的专家系统中，对推理机工作过程的控制是程序实现的。本文介绍了一个用数据库技术引导推理过程的专家系统－精神分裂症诊断专家系统（ＥＳＳＤ）的推理控制策略。在这个专家系统中，作者将有关推理过程的控制信息用关系数据库技术进行存储和管理，达到了将控制策略数据化的目的。将数据库技术引入到专家系统的推进控制机制中可以使控制策略比较容易调整，且而可以大大压缩程序篇幅，显著提高系统运行效率，为专家系统的结构设
