Abstract :
We present a novel approach to deal with the modeling and operational aspects of the interdatabase existence dependency problem. By extending our canonical model BLOOM with high level abstractions (metaclasses) for the different kinds of existence dependencies and their corresponding enforcement policies, inter-dependencies are declaratively specified and their behavior embodied into the model by exploiting the metaclass mechanism of BLOOM
