Cheops. A Project for Evaluating ANSI/SPARC Architecture.

Abstract

This paper describes a project for evaluating the ANSI/SPARC framework. This framework proposes a three schema-level architecture in which the outermost level supports different user views through different data models; the central level provides an unbiased description of the overall database, and the innermost level supports efficiency-oriented concepts. The three levels are connected by mappings. This architecture is currently being studied by a study group of the American National Standards Institute as a possible model for database standardization. This project will test the feasibility and appropriateness of the architecture by actually building a database system conforming to the architecture. The system will test a number of potential problem areas and possible solutions. This paper discusses these potential problems and some of the project's approaches to them.
