A Logical-Level Approach to Data Base Conversion

Summary: Logical-level database conversion across disparate DMSs via field-to-field mappings and existing query/generate facilities. Semantic analysis restricts mappings to permissible field-level conversions under logical, storage, and physical constraints, enabling portable migrations and guiding DMS design.
