ABSTRACT:
Relational databases are browsed in a manner that mirrors the interactive browsing of world wide web pages. A schema-based navigational layer is used on top of conventional physical, logical and conceptual database schema layers, to dynamically map data stored in a relational database onto web pages. The navigational schema or schema base is an independent abstraction from the underlying conceptual database schema. The schema base is constructed from relationships and information models. The schema base can be reused or derived from the database design process or produced specifically for navigation through the database. An object-role schema base is used to demonstrate the traversal of relational information in a regenerative, propagative manner. Navigating a database via the presented schema extends the conventional database concept of the logical view to an interactive model of logical view-transitions. The technique is a simple and powerful model for automated access to relational databases making available vast amounts of data stored in relational databases for Internet and intranet web browsing.
