View Representation in Logical Database Design

Summary: Proposes a view representation scheme for enabling view integration in logical database design, extending Smith and Smith's data abstraction to model instance-level interrelationships and identities. Encodes usage as rules for schema- and instance-level insertion/deletion and outlines valid transformations during integration. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
