Deriving Conceptual Schema from XML Databases

In this paper, two concepts from different research areas are addressed together, namely functional dependency (FD) and multidimensional association rule (MAR). FD is a class of integrity constraints that have gained fundamental importance in relational database design. MAR is a class of patterns which has been studied rigorously in data mining. We employ MAR to mine the interesting rules from XML Databases. The mined interesting rules are considered as candidate FDs whose all confidence itemsets are 100%. To prune the weak rules, we pay attention to support and correlation itemsets. The final strong rules are used to generate an Object-Role Model conceptual schema diagram.
