In this chapter, three semantics-based schema conversion methods are presented: 1) CPI converts an XML schema to a relational schema while preserving semantic constraints of the original XML schema, 2) NeT derives a nested structured XML schema from a flat relational schema by repeatedly applying the nest operator so that the resulting XML schema becomes hierarchical, and 3) CoT takes a relatio...

How viewers form dispositions toward narrative characters is a central question of affective disposition theory. Two routes are explained by current models: Schema activation, whereby viewers’ based on perceived role, and behavioral approbation, moral approval/disapproval behavior. What remains unclear how competing character schemas function: Do they exert their influence in the same location ...

A practitioner’s approach to integrate databases and evolve them so as to support new database applications is presented. The approach consists of a joint bottom-up and top-down methodology; the bottom-up approach is taken to integrate existing database using standard schema integration techniques(B-Schema), the top-down approach is used to develop a database schema for the new applications(T-S...

Schema conversion problem aims to convert a source schema S in the given model M1 to an equivalent target schema T in the desired model M2. In this paper, we especially study schema conversion problem between XML and relational models. We present three semantics-based schema conversion algorithms: 1) CPI converts an XML schema to a relational schema while preserving semantic constraints of the ...
