Title
Aggregation and generalization hierarchies in office automation
Abstract
Integrated database support is an essential part in Office Automation. Because of the variety of objects, their relationships and operations, more sophisticated data modelling concepts such as aggregation and long fields, cross references, aggregation hierarchies, and generalizations are needed. In this paper, we show their importance to Office Automation. Because long fields and aggregation are already supported by existing data models, we focus on the two data abstraction concepts: aggregation hierarchy and generalization. Besides structural aspects a restricted set of operations is defined. Then we discuss an implementation on the basis of a relational engineering prototype database system, that already supports long fields, aggregation and aggregation hierarchies.
