Abstract
An algorithm for transforming data base schema information to object modeling notation utilizes meta models of the data base tables and the target object modeling notation respectively to bridge the gap between the data base schema representation and the object model representation. Detection of associations between classes of objects is performed for one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many associations by analyzing unique key attributes. Once an object meta model is populated, the underlying object model may be displayed using existing software packages.
