EEMIS Data Sector Correspondence with Conceptual Database Design

摘要

The purpose of this report is fivefold: (1) it provides an introduction to database systems and critieria that are important in the selection of a commercial database management system; (2) it demonstrates that the mapping of the EEMIS data sector structure into the conceptual database model is complete and preserves the hierarchies implied by the EEMIS data structure; (3) it describes all fields and associated field lengths; (4) it provides accurate formulae for estimating the computer storage requirements for the conceptual models at the facility level; and (5) it provides the details of the storage requirements for oil refineries, petroleum crude storage facilities, natural gas transmission and distribution facilities, and company description records.
