OEM views meeting 11/26/96 - Yue Attendees: Serge, Jason, Roy, Vasilis, Janet, Yue. Issues of OEM views and the main focus of each person: 1. traditional view concept: OEM->OEM, centralized * view specification (Janet, Serge, Roy and all of us) 2. virtual views * data restructuring * query rewriting and optimization (avoid reconstructing views) (Vasilis) 3. materialized (or partially) views, in a client-server architecture or a data warehouse. in this scenario, a view could be logically the entire database, or a simple subset of all possible views(the maintainable subset). * distributed query optimization(Serge, Vasilis) * maintenance * physical organization * other applications: caching, GUI (Jason, Yue) 4. adding structure to views * OEM DB -> OEM + views --> data guide(?) (Roy) * non OEM DB -> OEM DB (Janet) * classification of objects * making the view a richer OO model(with schema and methods?) * logical indexing (Serge, Roy)
