We propose an indexing technique and an index selection algorithm for optimal OLAP query processing in object database systems, Although there are many research results on the relational database systems for OLAP Query processing, few researches have been done on the object database systems. Since OLAP queries represent complex business logic on a huge data ware-house, object database systems supporting the OLAP queries should have higher performance. Proposed bitmap index structure is an extension of conventional bitmap indexes for adapting object databases and provides higher performance with lower space overhead. We also propose a linear time solution of the index selection problem that will be used in the OLAP query optimization process.

In this paper, a conceptual data model, called the UDM(Unified Data Model), to efficiently represent database structures related with object technology and complex structured data, is proposed. This model integrates major features of modern data models, such as E-R model, Semantic Object Model, and UML, especially from the viewpoint of database design. This model is basically a simplified, but extended version of the Object-Relationship Model, which was proposed to model complex structures of temporal-spatial multimedia data. This model incorporates some of the important semantic and structural information of modern database applications and it is designed to support all of the major logical database models, including relational, object-relational, object-oriented, and (semi-)structured databases. A special diagrammatic technique, called the UDD(Unified Data Diagram), is introduced as a tool for database design. Also, possible ways to derive logical views of data from this unified data model are presented. The proposed model can be utilized as a convenient and practical tool for conceptual database designs.

An IFC Server is a database management system that stores data complying with a standard data format, called IFC, and keeps track of data transactions, modifications, and deletions. It plays a role as an information hub for storing and sharing information between various parties involved in construction projects. There have been several efforts to develop an IFC Server, however, they suffered from slow performance and long transaction time due to a complex mapping process between IFC files and relational database structures. In this study, we aim to develop an IFC Server using an object-relational database system. Since IFC has an object-flavored data structure, we expect to have a simpler and faster mapping process from IFC to the IFC Server. This paper reviews existing studies and describes the overall framework of the OR-IFC Server.

XML (extensible Markup Language) is a flexible way to create common information formats and share both the format and the data on the World Wide Web, intranets, and elsewhere. A document type definition (DTD) is a specific definition of the rules of the Standard Generalized Markup Language. A relational database management system (RDBMS) is a program that lets you create, update, and administer a relational database. An RDBMS takes Structured Query Language (SQL) statements entered by a user or contained in an application program and creates, updates, or provides access to the database. This paper has been studied a method of mappings from XML DTD to RDB schemas based on object model.

Nowadays, the study on XML as a standard method of exchange of information is active as Internet technology develops. This thesis designs and implements XML documents storage system using uniSQL/X in object-relational database. The system takes advantage of the merits of object-oriented databases, so that the structural information of XML documents can be effectively represented. The system uses split-storage method to allow frequent modifications of XML documents and suggests DTD-independent model so that it can store XML documents without DTD. And retrieval speed is improved by solving the issue of data duplication.

In this paper, we extend FARGs single mode attribute to multiple attributes for real image application and present a new CBIR using FMARG(Fuzzy Multiple Attribute Relational Graph), which can handle queries involving multiple attributes, not only object label, but also color, texture and spatial relation. In the experiment using the synthetic image database of 1,024 images and the natural image database of 1.026 images built from NETRA database and Corel Draw, the proposed approach shows 6~30% recall increase in the synthetic image database and a good performance, at the displacements and the retrieved number of similar images in the natural image database, compared with the single attribute approach.

Recently, a variety of GML application schemas have been designed in many fields. GML application schemas are specific to the application domain of interest and specify object types using primitive object types defined in the GML standard. GML instance documents are created based on such GML application schemas. The GML instance documents generally require large volumes to represent huge amounts of geographic objects. Thus, it is essential to store such GML instance documents in relational database for efficient management and use. Relational database is relatively convenient to use and is widely applied in various fields. Furthermore, it is fundamentally more efficient than file structure to handle large datasets. Many researches on storing GML documents have been carried out so far. However, there are few studies on storage of GML instance documents. Therefore, in this study, we developed the storage module to store the GML instance documents in relational database.

In the paper, we describe the query extension techniques for spatiotemporal query functionalities on object-relational DBMS. The spatial objects in real world change the shapes over time. Spatiotemporal databases support to manage a temporal dimension as well as a spatial dimension for history of the objects. The proposed techniques can make conventional object-relational databases to support spatiotemporal databases system by the implementation and inheritance of abstract data types. We define and implement spatial and temporal classes as superclass. And, spatiotemporal classes inherits and extends the classes. The proposed extensions make it easy that conventional database systems not only are transformed into the spatiotemporal database systems, but also do not need to be changed to support spatiotemporal applications.

Nowadays an information exchange on XML such as B2B electronic commerce is spreading. Therefore the systematic and stable management mechanism for storing the exchanged information is needed. For this goal there are many research activities for connection between XML application and database. Accordingly, A unified modeling methodology need to store the XML file on the variety database. In this paper, we propose a unified design methodology for XML applications based on variety databases using UML. To this goal, first we introduce a XML modeling methodology to design W3C XML schema using UML and second we propose data modeling methodology for object-relational database schema, object oriented database an schema and relational database schema to store efficiently XML data in databases.

The modeling components in the object-oriented paradigm are based on the object, not the structured function or procedure. That is, in the past, when one wanted to solve problems, he would describe the solution procedure. However, the object-oriented paradigm includes the concepts that solve problems through interaction between objects. The object-oriented model is constructed by describing the relationship between object to represent the real world. As in object-oriented model the relationships between objects increase, the control of objects caused by their insertions, deletions, and modifications comes to be very complex and difficult. Because the loss of the referential integrity happens and the object reusability is reduced. For these reasons, the necessity of the control of objects and the visualization of the relationships between them is required. In order that we design a database necessary to implement Object Browser that has functionalities to visualize Java objects and to perform the query processing in Java object modeling, in this paper we show the processes for EER modeling on Java object and its transformation into relational database schema. In addition we implement Java Object Parser that parses Java object and inserts the parsed results into the implemented database.
