UML Specification and Relational Database

Abstract

Liwu Li and Xin Zhao discuss how to extend the UML metamodel with elements for modeling relational dependencies. They also present techniques for converting structures of relational dependencies to UML constructs. The introduced metaelements and conversion techniques can be used in relational database design that is presented in the UML. They unify object-oriented software design and relational database design.
