The objective of this paper is to give a brief review of relational design methodology, and show how a relational schema can be converted into an object-relational schema. We first introduce relational terminology and describe the relational design process along with its limitations. Next we show how the relational model can be extended to overcome these limitations : these extensions form the core of an object-relational data model ; we use the UniSQL/X data model as an example. We illustrate the process or converting a relational schema into an object-relational schema, and show the benefits of this conversion with respect to queries. The conversion process is then summarized as a set of guidelines. Finally, we make our conclusions.

Nowadays XML is used for exchanging information in e-Commerce, especially B2B. Necessity of XML DBMS has being increased to efficiently process XML data. So a lots of database products for supporting XML are rapidly appeared in the market. In this paper, we made an XML DBMS system based on Generic Data Model. First we developed XML Adaptor based on Generic Data Model and added it on relational DBMS for developing XML DBMS. XML Adaptor is composed of Query Convertor and XML Repository System. The Query Convertor parse commands that are for XML data manipulation and then call the relevant component of XML Repository System for relational database operation. The XML Repository System handles relational database operations such as create, delete, store, and etc. In this way we can use a relational DBMS for manipulation XML data. Therefor we can build more economically XML DBMS.

A data base system for a minicomputer, designed on the basis of the concept of Relational model, is proposed in this thesis. It is a module of reentrant programs, which can serve multi-users concurrently and interactivelv. Relational calculus is chosen as a data sublanguage. The inverted-list file structure is used for the physical storage structuse with the technique of seperating data and their relationships, while data model records, which contain the information of the logical data organization and linkage to a physical structure, con struct the data model. The retrieval is performed mainly with these.

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 relational database. But because XML data have hierarchical structures and relational database can store only flat-structured data, we need to make the conversion rule which changes the hierarchical architecture to 2-dimensional information. Accordingly the modeling methodology for storing each structured information in relational database is needed. In this paper, we introduce a XML modeling methodology to design W3C XML schema using UML and we propose a unified design methodology for relational database schema to store XML data efficiently in relational databases. In the second place, in order to verify objectivity of a unified design methodology. By the way of Ronald Bourret, First we introduce the method of the transformation from XML schema to object model and second we translate object model into relational database schema. Therefore we show the mutual consistency between those consequence, and so can verify a unified design methodology.

This study was, based on traditional know-how indigenous to Korea, to systemize the knowledge on how to improve health by dining, and to make the best of it statistically. For this purpose, the knowledge in the Sikryo-chanryo(食療纂要), in Korean pronunciation and Siglyochan-yo in Chinese characters, which is an old text referring to diet therapy peculiar to Korea, was compiled into a database and analyzed statistically. Data processing was used as a 'Relational data model'. In addition, we have used nine data table to express diet therapy peculiar to Korea in the Siglyochan-yo. The software used for data construction was Microsoft Access 2014. As a result, the Sikryo-chanryo database, which can provide information on both disease treatment by food, medicines, and gourmet ingredients applicable to every kind of symptom, as well as the names of disease, was set up at in a PC interface. By employing the 'Relational data model', we can replace researching in the conventional method by employing the database.

This paper presents the design and implementaion of an object-relational geographic information system. This system has been developed on top of a commercial object-relational database management system. It provides flexible spatial data model, spatial query language, visual user interface, and efficient spatial access methods(D0T) in which traditional primary-key access methods can be applied. We report on our design choices and describe the current status of Implementation. The conceptual model of the system is based on SDTS, and is mapped to the intemal obiect-oriented data model. Kevwords : object-oriented data model, GIS, spatial data model, spatial access method.

As XML becomes the standard of digital data exchange format we need to manage a lot of XML data effectively. Unlike tables in relational model XML documents are not structural. That makes it difficult to store XML documents as tables in relational model. To solve these problems there have been significant researches in relational database systems. There are two kinds of approaches: 1) One way is to decompose XML documents so that elements of XML match fields of relational tables. 2) The other one stores a whole XML document as a field of relational table. In this paper we adopted the second approach to store XML documents because sometimes it is not easy for us to decompose XML documents and in some cases their element order in documents are very meaningful. We suggest an efficient table schema to store only inverted index as tables to retrieve required data from XML data fields of relational tables and shows SQL translations that correspond to XML full-text retrievals. The functionalities of XML retrieval are based on the W3C XQuery which includes full-text retrievals. In this paper we show the superiority of our method by comparing the performances in terms of a response time and a space to store inverted index. Experiments show our approach uses less space and shows faster response times.

In this paper, we present a stepwise design methodology for relational databases using a new conceptual data model, the MAO(Multiple Aspects-based Object) model. Our methodology consists two steps : first, data requirements are conceptualized using the MAO model with concepts such as objects types and aspect types : second, the MAO model is transformed into the third normal form inn the relational model supported by commercial DBMs. A top-down approach is used for the MAO modelling in the first, step, and the transformation process in the second step can be automated. Our methodology supports easier and more database design of real world than other methodologies using existing data models.

XML is rapidly becoming one of the most widely adopted technologies for information exchange and representation on the World Wide Web. However, the large part of data is still stored in a relational database. Hence, we need to convert relational data into XML documents. The most important point of the conversion is to reflect referential integrities In relational schema model to XML schema model exactly. Until now, FT, NeT and CoT are suggested as existing approaches for conversion from the relational schema model to the XML schema model but these approaches only reflect referential integrities which are defined explicitly for conversion. In this paper, we suggest an algorithm for automatic extraction of implicit referential integrities such as foreign key constraints which is not defined explicitly in the initial relational schema model. We present translated XML documents by existing algorithms and suggested algorithms as comparison evaluation. We also compare suggested algorithm and conventional algorithms by simluation in accuracy part.

The relational data model is based on mathematical concept of relations and is well formulated, and so there have been numerous practical applications and studies. However, it is not suitable for representing a complex hierarchical structure, which is the characteristic of most geographical objects. On the other hand, the object-oriented data model can naturally represent a complex hierarchical structure, but there is a difficulty in sharing data with the relational data model which is currently used by most commercial GIS users. Also it has no standard query language with standardized format. In this paper, we propose an Object Grouping based on RDBMS to use data from a traditional relational data model while supporting various concepts of the object-oriented data model, and we applied this data model to design a GIS.
