Mapping a Semantic Database Model to the Relational Model
Summary: Formalizes translating the Iris semantic data model into the relational model using relational DB techniques. Introduces cross-product and multiplicity constraints to characterize translated schemas; defines equivalence of Iris schemas via relational translations and reveals simplifications in Iris's type structure.
