Abstract

The abstraction mechanisms of Semantic Data Models - aggregation, classification and generalization - are considered the basic features to be supported by conceptual languages, i.e., programming languages with high-level constructs for database applications. This paper shows that conceptual languages should also provide a modularization mechanism as another feature to achieve a more adequate database modeling capability. Such a mechanism is required to organize structural and procedural aspects of a complex schema in smaller, interrelates units. A proposal is presented in the framework of Galileo, a strongly-typed, interactive, conceptual language designed specifically for database applications.
