Database Integrity in Integrated Systems

José Francisco Zelasco, Judith Donayo

Abstract

This article makes a proposal, looking into certain aspects of Unified Modelling Language (UML) and Unified Process (UP) usage, when applied to the database integrity in integrated information systems. The usage of some tools and heuristics based on the gathered experience originated on the MERISE method evolution, gives place to comparative benefits while conceiving this type of informatics applications. The heuristic and employed tools consist of starting from a higher level of abstraction provided with inverse engineering and re-engineering instrumentation methods. The knowledge of a minimal data schema enables a global vision. The data integrity is assured by means of verifications between the minimal data diagram and the persistent data object, reducing the number of modifications done to the initially built subsystem data. Finally, the conceptual and organizational levels of treatment allow the comparison of the organization options, yielding naturally into the user manual and object design.
