Abstract

The authors have proposed using category-theoretic sketches to enhance database design and integration methodologies. The algebraic context is called the Sketch Data Model (SkDM) and mathematically describes databases, views and their updates, and other database concepts. The system described here is a freely available graphical Java environment with a module that compiles a design incorporating algebraically specified constraints into database schemas that interface directly with modern database management systems. It therefore supports, inter alia, rapid prototyping.
