Obtaining Web services from relational databases

Abstract

Database reverse engineering in general has only been used to recover the conceptual schema employed during its construction. To the best of our knowledge, none of this work has made use of that static structure to perform a deep analysis to infer functionality, or in other words, services over data that could be offered via Web services. Our work goes beyond the discovery of functionality, generating Web service-based applications to allow the remote access and management of legacy databases
