Abstract
Query a database by users unfamiliar with its schema can be a challenging test due mainly to the difficulty of understanding dozens or more of possibly poorly designed inter-linked tables, beyond outdated or missing documentation (usability problem). Such users include database developers and sophisticated users: they may eventually need to acquire detailed knowledge of the schema, and then their ability to do so would be greatly improved if they could start with a simplified, easy-to-read schema. Simplified and easy-toread schemas have been studied within a research direction called database schema summarization 8, 10, 11, 12, 13.
