Abstract
This paper constructs ERD thesaurus that is storing information about Entity Relationship Diagram(ERD), and proposes an ERD thesaurus-based methodology for view integration in an important conceptual design step in designing databases. To show the usefulness of proposed methodology, the prototype for view integration support system is implemented for the applied case. As a result, ERD thesaurus-based methodology is more effective than the existing methodologies for view Integration in the aspects of affinity analysis, semantic conflicts resolution, and view Integration processes. Therefore, our methodology is expected to be utilized in integrating the existing fragmented schema or designing a large database integration.
