Abstract

Database design methodologies require both good modelling capabilities and knowledge of the field to be modelled. The first aspect is a one of the major difficulties for designers, since they have to move from one field to another one. Moreover, resulting databases are heterogeneous and difficult to integrate. In this paper, we propose a database design methodology, called SISRO. It is based on a prior definition of a local ontology for the database to be designed. This ontology is defined by specialization of shared domain ontologies, selective import of properties, and eventually extension with necessary concepts and/ or properties. The conceptual model is defined as a fragment of local ontology. Representing both ontologies and their articulations in the resulting database provides easy access, exchange and integration of data.
