The main objective of database modelling is the design of a database that is correct and can be processed eeciently by a database management system. The eeciency and correctness of a database depends among other things on knowledge about database semantics because semantic constraints are the prerequisite for normalization and restructuring operations. Acquisition of semantic constraints remains one of the bottlenecks in database design because for most database designers formal deenition of… CONTINUE READING
