Design and Prototypical Implementation of an Integrated Graph-Based Conceptual Data Model
Sedlmeier Matthias, Gogolla Martin · Frontiers in artificial intelligence and applications · 2014
The paper introduces a new, comprehensive integrated conceptual data model in a precise way. Central language features cover core modeling concepts as classification, membership, inheritance, interfaces, structured types, aliasing, aggregation, composition, constraints, clustering and relationships. Schema states are thought of as being realized as graphs with appropriate navigation options. A prototypical graph database implementation and accompanying examples are discussed.
