4.10 Hands-on 3: convert model
- 4.10.1 Convert model from hands-on 1 to SQL/DDL
- 4.10.2 Load the script into the DBMS
- 4.10.3 Insert data and perform some queries
- 4.10.4 Convert model to XML schema and inspect resulting XSD
- 4.10.5 Create XML data document from DBMS export to XML
- 4.10.6 Validate XML data against XML schema (optional)
- 4.10.7 Same steps as above but now for own model of hands-on 2 (with spatial data), manual corrections...
Explore information content of related data sets, check availability of generic models (ISO, INSPIRE).
Exercise:
Remark. This is a step which is important in a real situation but is hard to realize in a class situation.
However.....
A domain model though scoped to the domain, generally or ideally is part of a wider framework of domain models and or generic conceptual models. Try to make up related datasets, related domain models and related generic models that are of potential importance for the domain model you are generating.
Example:
For the land use classification model. Related models, datasets are:
- NEN 3610; ISO/DS 19144-2: Geographic information - Classification systems -- Part 2: Land cover classification system (LCCS);
- Corine Land Cover Classification;
- Inspire Generic Conceptual Model;
- ..
