Our current work on the Cedar programming environment has necessitated integrating a number of ideas in these areas. As part of the Cedar project in the Computer Science Lab at Xerox PARC, we have been constructing a database management system. The goal of the Cedar environment is to greatly increase our productivity by combining the best currently known principles from programming languages, programming tools, and user interfaces into a single integrated system. Cedar is based on the Mesa programming language [1]. The goal of our database subproject of Cedar is to provide a uniform prepackaged way to perform access to data structures, as contrasted to the current state of affairs in which Mesa programmers repeatedly re-invent the facilities we intend to provide to type, structure, index, link, robustly store, concurrently access, and cache data stored in the primary or secondary memory of one or more computers on a network.","PeriodicalId":347815,"journal":{"name":"Workshop on Data Abstraction, Databases and Conceptual Modelling","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116261744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, I will present recent results in the area of higher level data models, sometimes called semantic data models.\u0000 The principal focus of database research has been on database management systems (DBMS's). A DBMS is a general purpose system which provides tools for logical structuring of formatted data, access interfaces, data control (protection and integrity) and efficient storage of and access to data. I would like to emphasize that results in database research, while applicable to tailored systems, e.g., an airline reservation system, are really of a general purpose nature.","PeriodicalId":347815,"journal":{"name":"Workshop on Data Abstraction, Databases and Conceptual Modelling","volume":"10 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131956631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Realization of this goal involves the development of new software tools, their integration with existing tools, and the creation of an information system development methodology in which these tools are systematically used [1,2].\u0000 The successful construction of interactive information systems requires the utilization of principles of user-centered design [3,4,5], combined with features traditionally associated with the separate areas of programming languages, operating systems, and data base management [6]. It has become increasingly clear that the key to being able to provide such a unified view lies in providing a unified view of data [7]. The potential benefits of such a unification are considerable, including:\u0000 1) conceptual simplification of the system structure permitting, for example, joint design of data structures and data bases\u0000 2) the elimination of duplication or inconsistencies among diverse software components\u0000 3) the ability to achieve greater reliability in systems because of reduced dependence upon multiple software systems","PeriodicalId":347815,"journal":{"name":"Workshop on Data Abstraction, Databases and Conceptual Modelling","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115905744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, this is a prerequisite for building intelligent database mediators. These are programs that perform the task of a good database analyst: to pose the most effective and easily processed queries to help solve a problem. Semantic query optimization is a technique to exploit semantic constraints for one aspect of intelligent database mediation: increasing retrieval efficiency. The technique is to use semantic constraints to transform a query into an equivalent one that can be processed more efficiently. Various kinds of semantic knowledge that can be used for this purpose are described.","PeriodicalId":347815,"journal":{"name":"Workshop on Data Abstraction, Databases and Conceptual Modelling","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125859403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
