Towards the Support of Integrated Views of Multiple Databases: An Aggregate Schema Facility

Summary: Develops an aggregate schema facility to support integrated views across distinct databases; demonstrated in a CODASYL/DBTG‑like environment. Outlines the basic functions, restructuring motivations, and potential applications to dynamic translation and distributed databases. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
