Semantic Data Modeling in Relational Environments

By J.H. ter Bekke

Preface

Data modeling, as the name suggests, is performed by making use of data models. This dissertation introduces a semantic data model and demonstrates its viability and power in a number of examples. Relational data models are frequently used in practice because of the wide availability of relational database management systems. The examples illustrate also the applicability of semantic concepts in relational environments.
