In this paper, we present our Form-driven approach for reverse engineering of relationa databases. This methodology uses the information extracted from both form structure and inst...
Data modeling is an essential part of the software development process, and together with application modeling forms the core of the model-driven approach to software engineering....
Design principles for XML schemas that eliminate redundancies and avoid update anomalies have been studied recently. Several normal forms, generalizing those for relational databa...
