Topic: Conceptual schema


  
 Schema - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer science, a schema is a model.
The mental representation of a concept can be assimilation to match an existing schema (representing the concept according to a preexisting schema), or accommodation (modifying an existing schema to adapt to the environment).
This includes only what is required for some narrow range of actions; e.g., a library card catalogue schema asks librarians only to provide enough information about the book to help library users decide if they want to browse through it, and if so, how to find it.

Factor (8), the developing of a conceptual model on the basis of those relevant constituents, and Factor (9), the physical representation of it, are, in practice, the two proper components of the construction of the conceptual schema.
Conceptual modeling is the description of information systems on the meta-level, where conceptual processes, model constructions and knowledge representations play an essential role.
On the other hand, conceptual modeling can be characterized as an activity the goal of which is to develop higher level concepts, tools and techniques for all areas in computer science.

A conceptual model is a language that is used to describe conceptual schemas.
Logical Design Input: conceptual schema Output: logical schema Logical schema is a description of the structure of the database that can be processed by the DBMS software.
Physical Design Input: logical schema Output: physical schema A physical schema is a description of the implementation of the database in secondary memory.

 GIS Representations and Interoperability
The global conceptual schema needs only to parse and tag the three elements of geospatial information, and it is up to the user or database to restructure them in the way that suits their purposes.
As a result, the primary objective of the global conceptual schema for interoperable geospatial information is to provide a coherent family of constructs representing abstract objects in a structural manner and to encapsulate the structure in these constructs.
With the global conceptual schema, communication among users and databases can be performed by inquiring the content and semantic structures of geospatial information instead of low-level data formats or data structures.

 Systematic Hypermedia Application Design with OOHDM
Nodes are defined as object-oriented views of conceptual classes defined during conceptual design, using a query language similar to the one in [17], allowing a node to be defined by combining attributes of different related classes in the conceptual schema.
In this case the conceptual model is finally implemented using an object-oriented language and navigational classes are instantiated from the framework (see [25, 4]).
Figure 6 shows (a simplified version of) the conceptual schema for the example application, where, for the sake of conciseness, we have not shown all attributes of all classes.

 Syntactic and conceptual schemas
For example, in a relational database, the conceptual schema declares how data is organized into tables and columns, what the data types of each column are, what the primary key / foreign key relationships between the tables are, and so on.
Notice that the storage engine is translating here between the conceptual schema (which uses the concept of table) and the physical schema (which describes how data is stored on disk).
In both cases, an XML schema language (including the DTD language) can be viewed as a conceptual schema language as well as a physical schema language.

 Conceptual Graph Standard
A conceptual relation whose semantics may be computed or otherwise determined by an IT system external to the current knowledge base.
A conceptual relation or relation label of valence n is said to be n-adic; monadic is synonymous with 1-adic, dyadic with 2-adic, and triadic with 3-adic.
A 0-adic conceptual relation is logically equivalent to the proposition stated by its defining conceptual graph.

 TDAN Hay - Data Model Views
And while the conceptual schema often is the starting point for physical data base design, it is very difficult to keep the link current as requirements change.
The design of tables and columns became part of the logical schema design, just as the design of networks and hierarchies were part of the logical schema design under earlier technologies.
Finally, the internal schema represents the structure of data as they are stored physically on the computer.

We can therefore change the mapping as the physical schema changes, e.g., change a data type or use a different access method and make these changes transparent to the conceptual schema.

 Conceptual schema - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A conceptual schema, or High-level data model or conceptual data model, is a map of concepts and their relationships, for example, a conceptual schema for a karate studio would include abstractions such as student, belt, grading and tournament.
The next step towards creating a database design, after a conceptual schema is produced, is a logical schema.

 VLDB 1976: 13-25
The conceptual schema is presented as a tool of data base administration.
One, to provide maximum derivability of information from the data, assumes an unstructured, non-redundant conceptual schema, third normal conceptual record sets, and permits arbitrarily structured external records to be defined in terms of combinations of conceptual records.
The other, to provide dynamic data independence during attribute migration and control over the information that can be derived from the data, assumes a highly structured, highly redundant conceptual schema, third normal,...,unnormalized conceptual record sets, and requires external records to be subsets of predefined conceptual records.

It is important to note that while the normal forms are subsets of each other (for example, a schema in 3NF is in 2NF by definition) it is not necessary to move from one to the other in a sequential fashion.
Because of this, dependencies and symmetric constraints are rooted out right away, and the resulting (generated) logical and physical schemas are in "optimal normal form" (assuming the fact types are "elementary" [Becker]).
To correct this schema, we need to create additional tables and decompose the partial dependencies into these new tables, as in figure 4.

Significant effort is expended in developing a high–level conceptual schema for a relational database.
However, critical knowledge is often discarded when the conceptual schema is mapped to a set of relation schemas.

If such changes are made after a database is in use, called schema evolution; might want to mask some of these changes from applications by defining views.

We might denormalize (i.e., undo a decomposition step), or we might add fields to a relation.

In contrast, the proposed extensions were able to meet both objectives, since they are derived from the Dialogix schema, which already performs those tasks.
Design Psychometric theory and survey research framework, plus an existing tool for implementing many types of assessment instruments (Dialogix), were used to identify and model the attributes of instruments that affect reliability and validity.
