Abstract :
Design Patterns (DPs) recently took over software development by storm. Object oriented development, workflows and distributed computing are a few of the disciplines where DPs made a significant difference in delivery speed and product quality. Unfortunately, databases had not yet attracted the attention of DP designers. This work benefits from the growing popularity of open source-data centric and semantic web applications, and uncovers 24 DPs related to databases. These DPs will give insight to any database architect on how common real world entities are being modeled.
