Conceptual method of data bank design: Doctoral dissertation. – Moscow. : Moscow Engineering Physical Institute (MEPhI), 1990. – pp. 430 V. E. Wolfengagen UDC 681. 3 This Doctoral Thesis describes the conceptual method of data bank design which is determined as an approach to develop, apply and manage the databases and metadata bases. This approach covers the accommodations to the variable problem CONCEPTUAL METHOD domain and its representation, e. g. , by increasing/decreasing the level of details being described. The topics concerning the management of databases and meta- OF data bases deal with an integration of data objects, metadata objects and programs. A unified computational environment preserves the extensibility of data object DATA BANK DESIGN model. The representations of data and metadata are specified by the variety of data and metadata objects which are embedded into a computational framework. The design procedure is based on a choice of multilevel conceptualiza- Doctor of Technical Science Thesis tion to capture the semantic features of data/metadata interconnections. The variety of data and metadata objects can be expanded without violation of the computational environment properties. Electronic Edition All the topics give a conceptual framework for thinking about computa- tions with the objects. Several areas of theoretical computer science are covered, including type free and typed λ-calculus and combinatory logic with applications, evaluation of expressions, computations in a category. The topics, covered in this Thesis accumulated much experience in teaching these subjects in postgraduate computer science courses.
