A Domain Model Approach using Normalized Class and Existence Dependency

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Object-oriented modeling is a major approach to requirement analysis and object-oriented software development. In an ideal situation, the lifetime of a property value should be equal to that of its instance in the class diagram design. Furthermore, each property value should depend functionally and non-transitively on the object ID (primary key of the instance). We call this type of class a “normalized class” in this paper. However, the above assumptions prove to be far from reality. Real applications usually require non-normalized classes that have property values copied from the corresponding instances. This property value transitively depends on the object ID, which implies the class is not normalized. Consequently, the non-normalized structure reduces the maintenance capabilities of the application software. To overcome the problem, this paper proposes the following scheme. (1) Normalized classes and an existence-dependency class diagram are fully adopted. (2) The generated instances are never deleted and use a type of timestamp to label their lifetime. (3) Each instance consists of many versions to record the time-dependent changes of the instance. The above mechanism allows each instance to obtain property values of different instances at any time, provided the current instance and the target instance are linked by an existence-dependency association.
