Abstract
To deal with issues of data model transformation and to make combined use of different data models, this paper proposed a database reengineering scheme which includes schema translation and data conversion from object-oriented data model to flattened XML data model with is-a and cardinality data semantics preservation. In this paper, conceptual schema of object-oriented data model and flattened XML data model are elaborated by UML class diagram and XML Schema Definition(XSD) graph respectively. Logical schema is described by UNISQL class definition and XSD respectively. This paper firstly analyzes class definitions from OODB and sorts them from most independent classes to most dependent classes. Secondly schema translation is processed by mapping class to complexType and then creating element definitions in XSD file. Thirdly data conversion is processed automatically. Performance tests have shown that the proposed database reengineering scheme is reliable and efficient.
