Re-Engineering a Relational Database System to Produce a Prototype Object-Oriented Geophysical Database System.

Abstract

This document provides a description of (1) the design and development ot a prototype object-oriented geophysical database system, and (2) the development of a reengineering process for mapping from an existing relational database to an object-oriented database. Although it is widely recognized that the object-oriented approach has many advantages over traditional relational technology for scientific databases, one cannot ignore the large investments that have been made in existing relational databases. The re- engineering process described in this document provides a systematic method for (1) mapping from an existing relational schema to an object-oriented schema and for (2) mapping the actual data from the relational database into an object-oriented database.
