CLAS - A Formal Aid to Data Elements Identification


Dušan Malbaški, Danilo Obradović




The method CLAS (Continuous Logic Attribute Synthesis ) is a formalization of the standard method named Synthesis of Attributes used for identification of entities and attributes in information systems design. It differs from the original method in a sense that the subjectiveness in the procedure of evaluation of parameters is eliminated by introducing formalized quantitative measures for elementary criteria. Also, the three global identification criteria which may cause II contradiction are reduced to one by the use of continuous logic functions.
