MatBase Metadata Catalog Management
Christian Mancas
MatBase is a prototype intelligent data and knowledge base management system based on the Relational, Entity-Relationship, and (Elementary) Mathematical Data Models. The latter dis…
MatBase Algorithm for Translating Entity-Relationship Data Models into (Elementary) Mathematical Data Model Schemes
Christian Mancas, Diana Christina Mancas
This paper presents a pseudocode algorithm for translating Entity-Relationship data models into (Elementary) Mathematical Data Model schemes. We prove that this algorithm is linear…
On Enforcing Satisfiable, Coherent, and Minimal Sets of Self-Map Constraints in MatBase
Christian Mancas
This paper rigorously and concisely defines, in the context of our (Elementary) Mathematical Data Model ((E)MDM), the mathematical concepts of self-map, composite mapping, totality…
On Enforcing Satisfiable, Coherent, and Minimal Sets of Dyadic Relation Constraints in MatBase
Christian Mancas
This paper rigorously and concisely defines, in the context of our (Elementary) Mathematical Data Model ((E)MDM), the mathematical concepts of dyadic relation, reflexivity, irrefle…
The (Elementary) Mathematical Data Model Revisited
Christian Mancas
This paper presents the current version of our (Elementary) Mathematical Data Model ((E)MDM), which is based on the naïve theory of sets, relations, and functions, as well as on th…
