Abstract

IDEF1X is a tool widely used to depict data models. However, there have been few works that discussed the IDEFIX foundation, much less its logic semantics. F-logic is a logic database language based on object semantics. It is powerful in expressing object-oriented features. Thus we aim at constructing sufficient formality to allow formal analysis and to verify the properties of the IDEF1X data model. The IDEF1X data model is transformed into F-logic language first by transformation rules. Next, a logic interpretation structure of this data model is presented. The transformation processes and results are illustrated using an example of a tooling system. Finally, the significance of this approach is discussed and summarized.
