A Model-to-Model Transformation of a Generic Relational Database Schema into a Form Type Data Model

Abstract

An important phase of a data-oriented software system reengineering is a database reengineering process and, in particular, its subprocess a database reverse engineering process. In this paper we present one of the model-to-model transformations from a chain of transformations aimed at transformation of a generic relational database schema into a form type data model. The transformation is a step of the data structure conceptualization phase of a model-driven database reverse engineering process that is implemented in IIS*Studio development environment.
