This paper examines one example in which the feasibility of mechanically creating a conceptual schema from a relational database is explored and the approach chosen to carry out the task of this translation is an algorithm.

Abstract

The degree to which the creation of a conceptual model can be mechanized is a topic of investigation of considerable interest within the research area of semantic data modeling. This paper examines one such example in which the feasibility of mechanically creating a conceptual schema from a relational database is explored. The approach chosen to carry out the task of this translation is an algorithm
