Towards a Sound View Integration Methodology

Summary: Proposes a sound two-step view-integration: combination derives interrelational dependencies (inclusion/exclusion/union-FDs) to produce an integrated schema with explicit constraints; optimization applies normalization to reduce redundancy. Delivers dependency-theoretic results and an optimization procedure for a restricted schema class. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
