Excerpt from Virtual Information in Data-Base Systems
Data relationships in recent information structuring models, however, essentially group and categorize data in some static fashion in the data base. But relationships can also be defined in a procedural fashion. An example of such an item is age. 'for example, to maintain a completely accurate value of someone's age, it would have to be updated continuously. Therefore, rather than assigning a particular stored Value to the data item age, it might be preferable to define it procedurally as current date minus data of birth. This leads directly to the idea that a model of information should allow not only static, grouping relationships.

Excerpt from Virtual Information in Data-Base Systems
This paper examines the concept and implications of virtual information in data base system. Virtual information is any fact which does not physically exist in the data base, but is nonetheless accessible through combinations of algorithms and other data. Physically recorded information is only one of a number of ways to obtain information from a data-base system. Viewing an information system as a collection of functions shows that pure data and pure algorithm form the endpoints of a spectrum of ways function being various types of virtual information. Several classes of virtual information are identified, and their usefulness is examined to show the appropriateness of the concept in a data-base system. Finally, the model is evaluated in light of the implications of virtual Information Tor inference and automatic restructuring within a data base.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nature of information in data base systems. It presents a model of information as a collection of functions that produce values in response to arguments. Virtual information unifies data, algorithms, and their combinations, providing alternative methods to meet requests for information. The book identifies classes of virtual information useful in resolving the issues of representation and materialization. The functional model and virtual information have significant implications for data base systems, improving system performance and offering a conceptually simple, yet consistent view of many formerly disparate issues. This book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the field of data base systems.
