Highlights of CAiSE 2017: Electrolysis
Keynote talk at DATA 2016
In this line of research, the object of study is shifted from the entire schema to individual tables. In our stydy we explore how evolution-related properties, like the possibility of deletion, life duration, or the amount of updates that a table undergoes, are related to observable table properties like the number of attributes or the version of birth of a table.
