Abstract

The purpose of the logical design phase of database development is to produce a model of the data structure that (1) effectivelv satisfies the organizational information storage"requirements, (2) will allow timely access to the information, (3) is flexible and readily adaptable to future requirements, and (4) is simple and comprehendable. Most methodologies for logical database design have adopted but one of these objectives or attempted to address them concurrently. Recently, there have been methodoloqies proposed that address all four goals individually.
