A Tool for Obtaining Semantic Constraints
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main objective of database modelling is the design of a database that is correct and can be processed eeciently by a database management system. The eeciency and correctness of a database depends among other things on knowledge about database semantics because semantic constraints are the prerequisite for normalisation and restructuring operations. Acquisition of semantic constraints remains one of the bottlenecks in database design because for most database designers formal deenition of semantic constraints is a very diicult task. Within the framework of the project RADD (Rapid Application and Database Development) experience was gathered with the informal modelling of database structures. We show in this paper an approach for acquisition of semantic constraints which is informal, easy understandable and eecient. This method uses natural language input, instances and a discussion of sample relations to nd out semantic constraints of a database.

Semantic Constraint and QoS-Aware Large-Scale Web Service Composition
Service-oriented architecture facilitates the running time of interactions by using business integration on the networks. Currently, web services are considered as the best option to provide Internet services. Due to an increasing number of Web users and the complexity of users’ queries, simple and atomic services are not able to meet the needs of users; and to provide complex services, it requ...
متن کاملSemantic constraints and judged preference for interpretations of ambiguous sentences
It is proposed that the degree of sensibleness of sentences is determined by semantic constraints which may be more or less satisfied. Such continuous semantic constraints were examined in two experiments in which subjects judged the likelihood of obtaining each of the interpretations of ambiguous sentences. The sentences were factorially generated by independently varying the degree to which s...
متن کاملFormal Model for Integration of Data in Complex Structure
In Internet, various kinds of data in variety of forms are stored. After obtaining data from distributed sites, we have to integrate them. One of the serious problem is how to integrate data in di erent structures. In this paper we will develop a form model for such a purpose. Since data structure is designed in order to reduce the complexities of the result, the structure re ects semantic cons...

متن کاملUsing an Efficient Penalty Method for Solving Linear Least Square Problem with Nonlinear Constraints
In this paper, we use a penalty method for solving the linear least squares problem with nonlinear constraints. In each iteration of penalty methods for solving the problem, the calculation of projected Hessian matrix is required. Given that the objective function is linear least squares, projected Hessian matrix of the penalty function consists of two parts that the exact amount of a part of i...
