Abstract

A formalism for constructing database schemata from simple components is presented in which the components are coupled to one another via communicating views. The emphasis is upon identifying the conditions under which such components can be interconnected in a conflict-free fashion, and a characterization of such, based upon the acyclicity of an underlying hypergraph, is obtained. The work is furthermore oriented towards an understanding of how updates can be supported within the component-based framework, and initial ideas of so-called canonical liftings are presented.
