Abstract :
We use metamodeling for object oriented database design and management. First, in the context of the UML based metamodeling, we provide an overview of what is achievable, e.g., more exhaustive descriptions of classes (their behaviors and their dependencies), validation of external schemas of a database, as well as determination of requirements for software tools to enhance system security. Second, we propose an extension, using our specific metamodeling architecture, for management of federated databases
