520 _aMapping a database schema from one model into another, with a higher semantic capacity, is a current research subject with application in several development fields, such as schema integration and translation, migration from l e g a ~ systems and revngineering o f poor quality or no-longer accurate data models. Inclusion dependencies are one o f the most important concepts in relational databases and they are the key to perform some reengineering o f database schemas. Referential integrity restrictions (fir), a particular case o f an inclusion conslraint, requires that the set of distinct values occurring in some specified column, simple or composite (foreign key), must be a subset o f the set o f distinct primary key values drawn from the same domain. Pure inclusion dependencies (id), however, may apply between other pairs o f attributes also (alternate keys or non-keys). Database schemas containing ids frequently reveal the presence o f hidden objects and misrepresented relationships and, as a consequence, incree,se the effort to develop program applications and maintain the integrity. This work presents a heuristics for the conversion of schemas with ids into equivalent schemas with only firs. In case some irreducible ids remain, a semantic interpretation oftbeir necessity and maintenance is given.
