Key terms introduced in the chapter are presented first in bold typeface. This chapter presents conceptual and theoretical discussions interleaved with one or more related examples. This is designed to show the reader how the concepts and theories being presented at the moment are applied in real data management contexts. Readers are encouraged to develop the examples further based on their own interests.
The examples presented in this chapter are described in the section Data management domain examples below. Examples are referenced with the abbreviation “EX.” followed by the two or three letter code representing the domain example and a number representing its order within that domain example. Thus, the second example involving the Weather Monitoring domain would be referenced as “EX. WM-2.” Some of the domain examples presented in this chapter are not be used until the forthcoming Part II of this chapter, but the reader is encouraged to draw parallels for them while considering the examples in Part I.
