The Prometheus database for taxonomy (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Raguenaud, C., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. (2000, July). The Prometheus database for taxonomy. Presented at Proceedings. 12th International Conference on Scientific and Statistica Database Management

This paper presents the work carried out in the Prometheus project and its motivation, taxonomy. Taxonomy presents challenges to common database systems. Because of its complexity and the necessary treatments applied to its data, common database mode... Read More about The Prometheus database for taxonomy.

Conceptual Modelling for Database User Interfaces (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cooper, R., McKirdy, J., Griffiths, T., Barclay, P. J., Paton, N. W., Gray, P., Kennedy, J., & Goble, C. (2000, May). Conceptual Modelling for Database User Interfaces. Presented at Visual Database Systems - VDB5, 2000, Fukuoka, Japan

Model-based user interface development environments show promise for improving the speed of production and quality user interfaces. Such systems usually have seperate descriptions of domain, task and presentation to structure. The Teallach system app... Read More about Conceptual Modelling for Database User Interfaces.

A query mediation approach to interoperability of heterogeneous databases (2000)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Huang, H.-C., Kerridge, J., & Chen, S.-L. (2000, January). A query mediation approach to interoperability of heterogeneous databases. Presented at 11th Australasian Database Conference (ADC) 2000, Canberra, ACT, Australia

The need to transform queries between heterogeneous databases arises in many circumstances, including query transformation between a global and a local query. This paper describes a query mediation approach to the interoperability of heterogeneous da... Read More about A query mediation approach to interoperability of heterogeneous databases.

The Prometheus Taxonomic Model: a practical approach to representing multiple classification. (2000)
Journal Article
Pullan, M. R., Watson, M. F., Kennedy, J., Raguenaud, C., & Hyam, R. (2000). The Prometheus Taxonomic Model: a practical approach to representing multiple classification. Taxon, 49, 55-75

A model for representing taxonomic data in a flexible and dynamic system capable of handling and comparing multiple simultaneous classifications is presented. The Prometheus Taxonomic Model takes as its basis the idea that a taxon can be circumscribe...
