Object relationship notation (ORN) for database applications: enhancing the modeling and implementation of associations

Conceptually, a database consists of objects and relationships. Object Relationship Notation (ORN) is a simple notation that more precisely defines relationships by combining UML multiplicities with uniquely defined referential actions. Object Relationship Notation (ORN) for Database Applications: Enhancing the Modeling and Implementation of Associations shows how ORN can be used in UMLclass diagrams and database definition languages (DDLs) to better model and implement relationships and thus more productively develop database applications. For the database developer, it presents many examples of relationships modeled using ORN-extended class diagrams and shows how these relationships are easily mapped to an ORN-extended SQL or Object DDL. For the DBMS developer, it presents the specifications and algorithms needed to implement ORN in a relational and object DBMS. Provides unique association patterns that help make database modeling easier and more exact Unique ORN notation closes the gap between database modeling and definition, thus improving database development productivity Describes Web-accessible tools that allow databases to be modeled using ORN and implemented using automatic code generation that adds ORN support to Microsoft SQL Server and Progress Object Store INDICE: Preface.- Introduction.- Using ORN to Develop a Database.- Object Relationship Notation (ORN).- Association Patterns.- ORN Simulator: a prototype for a Database Modeling Tool.- ORN Additive: a Tool for Extending SQL Serverwith ORN.- Mapping ORN-extended Class Diagrams into a Relational Database.- Object Relater Plus (OR+): an ORN-extended Object DBMS.- Mapping ORN-extended Class Diagrams into an Object Database.- Adding ORN to the DBMS.- Algorithms for the Conceptual Implementation of ORN.- Adding ORN to the SQL Standard for a Relational DBMS.- Syntax, Semantics, and Algorithms for Adding ORN to the ODMGStandard for an Object DBMS.- The Formal Specification of ORN Semantics UsingZ.- Bibliography.- Index.
