| Abstract | Database management systems (DBMSs) are being used in a wide variety of domains to handle many types of data. Scientific data pose a special challenge to DBMSs due to their volume and complex nature. The object--oriented model has many additional capabilities over the relational model that enables the database designer to capture the semantics of the data better. This paper describes the process of re--engineering a part of a relational database to an object--oriented database. The transformation of the relational schema to an object --oriented schema, the implementation of the new schema using an object--oriented DBMS, and a user interface for the new database are described in this paper. 1. Introduction A Database management system (DBMS) is a system that provides facilities to store, retrieve, and manage large quantities of data. One of the key aspects of storing data using a DBMS is data modelling. There are at least two popular data models on which most of the current systems are... |
