Mapping extended entity relationship model to object modeling technique

Abstract

A methodology of reengineering existing extended Entity-Relationship(EER) model to Object Modeling Technique(OMT) model is described. A set of translation rules from EER model to a generic Object-Oriented(OO) model of OMT methodology is devised. Such reengineering practices not only can provide us with significant insight to the "interoperability" between the OO and the traditional semantic modelling techniques, but also can lead us to the development of a practical design methodology for object-oriented databases(OODB).
