  • Medical databases designed by using reusable database components
    Welzer-Družovec, Tatjana ; Stiglic, Bruno ; Družovec, Marjan
    Database is the main building block, an essential component, of any modern information system. For this reason it must be very carefully designed to contain all the information required by the user ... and that needed for efficient behavior of the system. To achieve greater efficiency the database design is a progressive process, decomposed in conceptual, logical and physical design. The aim of the conceptual design, which results in a conceptual model, is to describe the information content of the database on an abstract and general way, independent from any particular logical model or DBMS. In principle, each conceptual model is used only once, i.e. within a single database design. This seems not to be practical and is very time consuming, while through the design of different databases numberless conceptual models were designed and never used again, not even part of them. Why? Is each database really so unique that no common and hence reusable data components of conceptual models are to be found? The paper will be concentrated on reusable database components from the medical environment, saved in the MetaBase repository.
