The Translation of HERM Schemes

Translation of HERM structures depends on several options. For this reason we first present the general translation approach. Then, a translation algorithm is discussed and the translation of integrity constraints and operations is introduced. Finally, we present a translation procedure for some of the examples discussed above. The translation approach introduced below summarizes, generalizes and extends the approaches presented in [BCN92, FaV94, MaR92a, MaR96, Run94, Sto91] and [AzP86, BDG83, Che76, DoC83, DuA83, E1N89, JaN83, Lin85b, MaM90, MMR85, MaS89a, MaS89b, SpC89].
