Neil, S.2016-07-062016-07-061988http://hdl.handle.net/10092/12458In this document some of the major different schools of schema design methods will be outlined. This is important because the different schools, and different specific examples of these schools, will be referred to in the Project Report , (specifically in part 2). Furthermore, in researching this paper no suitable paper, or chapter in any book, was found that compared and contrasted these topics that would be suitable to be given as a reference. Producing a technical report was therefore thought to be a worthwhile task. It also gives a solid grounding for the discussions in the report.enAll Rights ReservedA guide to schema design methods : a supplementary technical report to "a survey of a database technique"Discussion / Working PapersField of Research::08 - Information and Computing Sciences::0806 - Information Systems::080604 - Database ManagementField of Research::08 - Information and Computing Sciences::0806 - Information Systems::080610 - Information Systems Organisation
