In distributed data processing environments, heterogeneous data sources should corporate each other. The CORBA standards proposed by OMG solve this problem by the integration of platform independent applications. In this paper, we design and implement a CASE tool that help linking CORBA applications to relational databases by interface method. This CASE tool manipulates the database schema and generates IDL and $C^{++}$ stubs corresponding to the schema. We explain the code generation process and evaluate the data access performance of the interface method compared to adapter method and various implementation languages. The implemented tool can be used for developing applications that need relational database corporation environments such as distributed information systems or data warehousing. etc.

Since XML (eXtensible Markup Language) was highlighted as an information interchange format, there is an increasing demand for incorporating XML with databases. Most of the approaches are focused on RDB (Relational Databases) because of legacy systems. But these approaches depend on the database system. Countless researches are being focused on DTD (Document Type Definition). However XML Schema is more comprehensive and efficient in many perspectives. We propose a meta-model for XML Schema that is independent of the database. There are three processes to build our meta-model: DOM (Document Object Model) tree analysis, object modeling and storing object into a fixed DB schema using model mapping approach. We propose four mapping rules for object modeling, which conform to the ODMG (Object Data Management Group) 3.0 standard. We expect that the model will be especially useful in building XML-based e-business applications.

One important question that arises when dealing with temporal databases in context of object-oriented systems is the method that associates time with attributes relationship semantics. Results of previous work about attribute versioning, particularity extending flat(First Normal Form: FNF) or nested(Non-First Normal Form: NFNF) relational models. are not applicable to temporal object-oriented databases. This is because object-oriented models provide more powerful constructs than traditional models for structuring complex objects. Therefore, this paper presents an formal approach for incorporating temporal extension to object-oriented databases. Our goal in this paper is to study temporal object-oriented database representation according to generalization, aggregation and association among objects. We define tile concepts of attribute versioning in temporal object-oriented model, and we concentrate on the representation of temporal relationship among objects. Another contribution of this paper is to specify time constraints on relationship semantics and analyze our model based on representation criteria. By means of formalizing tile temporal object oriented model, this paper can not only provide tile robust operating functions that design algebraic operators, but also entrance the reuse of modules.

XML은 웹 문서 기술을 위한 표준과 모든 유형의 정보에 대한 데이터 기술 언어로써 점차 그 사용 폭을 넓혀가고 있다. 최근에 관계형 혹은 객체 지향형 데이터베이스에 XML 문서를 저장하는 여러 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 관계 데이터베이스에의 저장은 XML 문서 구조와 관계 스키마와의 불일치에 따른 문제점을 안고 있으며, 객체지향 데이터베이스에의 저장은 관계 데이터베이스가 주를 이루는 상용 데이터베이스를 사용할 수 없다는 문제점을 안고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방안으로, 최근에 XML 가용 인터넷 플랫폼을 지원하고 있는 Oracle 8i를 사용하여 객체-관계 데이터베이스 상에 XML 문서를 저장하는 방법을 제시하고, 그 저장 시스템을 구현한다.

In this work, we propose a concurrency control scheme in object-oriented database (OODB). Since an OODB provides complex modeling power than the conventional relational databases, a concurrency control technique in OODB is also rather complicated and has influence on the overall performance. Thus, it is very important to develop a concurrency control technique with less overhead. The proposed scheme deals with class hierarchy that is a key concept in OODBs. The proposed scheme is developed on implicit locking scheme. Also, the proposed scheme is designed using data access frequency in order to reduce locking overhead than implicit locking. It means that, if access frequency information is not available, the proposed scheme works just like the existing implicit locking, In our work, the correctness of the proposed scheme is proved. The performance is analyzed depending on access types. Also, it is proved that our scheme performs works much better than the implicit locking does.

Miniaturization of computing devices, and advances in wireless communication and positioning systems will create a wide and increasing range of database applications such as location-based services, tracking and transportation systems that has to deal with Moving Objects. Various types of queries could be posted to moving objects, including past, present and future queries. The key problem is how to model the location of moving objects and enable Database Management System (DBMS) to predict the future location of a moving object. It is obvious that there is a need for an innovative, generic, conceptually clean and application-independent approach for spatio-temporal handling data. This paper presents behavioral aspect of the spatio-temporal databases for managing and querying moving objects. Our objective is to impelement and extend the Spatial TAU (STAU) system developed by Dr.Pelekis that provides spatio-temporal functionality to an Object-Relational Database Management System to support modeling and querying moving objecs. The results of the impelementation are demonstrated in this paper.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of XML retrieval based on ORDBMSs(Object-Relational Database Management Systems) approach. This paper describes indexing and retrieval methods for XML documents and the methodologies of experiments at INEX(Initiative for the Evaluation of XML retrieval). Like any other traditional information retrieval experiment, the test collection was consists of documents, topics/queries, task, relevance assessments and evaluation. EXIMA$^{TM}$ Supply, a kind of native XML DB based on ORDBMS technologies, is used for this experiment. Although this approach has many benefits, for example, no delay in storing and searching XML documents. but it showed relatively disappointed retrieval performance at INEX 2002. This result may caused since the given topics had to be decomposed and modified to be processed by the XPath processor, and during this modification the original meaning of topics can be changed inevitably and some important information nay pass over.r.

응용 환경에서 동시에 이종의 모델을 지원하는 다수의 데이터베이스에 대하여 이들을 동시에 사용하거나 서로 간의 데이터 이전을 위해서는 스키마 변환과 질의 변환이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이종 모델 데이터베이스간의 상호 질의를 위해, 1) 관계형 스키마를 객체지향 스키마로 변환하고, 2) 관계 데이터베이스의 데이터를 객체 데이터베이스로 이전하며, 3)사용자의 관계형 질의를 객체 데이터베이스에서 인식할 수 있도록 변환하는 수행하는 중개자(Mediator)의 설계에 대해 기술한다. 제안된 중개자는 관계형 SQL 질의를 받아서, 데이터의 위치에 다랄 적절한 질의로 변환한 후, 관계 데이터베이스와 객체 데이터베이스에 있는 데이터를 자동으로 처리한다. 결과적으로, 중개자는 서로 다른 데이터베이스를 동시에 사용할 수 있는 기초가 될 것이다.

In this paper, a conceptual data model, called the UDM(Unified Data Model), to efficiently represent database structures related with object technology and complex structured data, is proposed. This model integrates major features of modern data models, such as E-R model, Semantic Object Model, and UML, especially from the viewpoint of database design. This model is basically a simplified, but extended version of the Object-Relationship Model, which was proposed to model complex structures of temporal-spatial multimedia data. This model incorporates some of the important semantic and structural information of modern database applications and it is designed to support all of the major logical database models, including relational, object-relational, object-oriented, and (semi-)structured databases. A special diagrammatic technique, called the UDD(Unified Data Diagram), is introduced as a tool for database design. Also, possible ways to derive logical views of data from this unified data model are presented. The proposed model can be utilized as a convenient and practical tool for conceptual database designs.

View index techniques are proposed to process queries on views. Signature referencing techniques keep pointers with signatures of the referred object when there is any reference relationship between objects. When queries having conditions on referred object are give, disk I/Os can be reduced by checking conditions using stored signatures. Signature view index techniques proposed in this paper apply signature referencing techniques to view index by keeping not only tuple identifiers but also signatures for the tuple. When queries having conditions on views regiven, we can retrieve only tuples from a view index which satisfy given conditions by checking those with stored signatures.
