A Formal View Integration Method

Summary: Formal model for view integration to construct a global schema from per-group views; clarifies core notions and challenges in multi-view design. Equivalence-preserving, local scheme transformations constitute the main integration operations, providing a theoretical basis for consistent global design. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
