Designing Globally Consistent Network Schemas

Summary: Investigates implicit functional dependencies in network schemas; defines FD satisfaction and an actionable sufficient condition for global consistency. Proposes a design methodology to generate schemas whose implicit FDs imply user-specified dependencies, enabling globally consistent integration across databases.
