3.1.10. Process

  • Typically start with set of f.d., F
    • determined from semantics of attributes
  • Then use IR1,2,3 to infer additional f.d.s
  • Determine left hand sides (Xs)
    • Then determine all attributes dependent on X
  • For each set of attributes X,
    • determine X+ :the set of attributes f.d'ed by X on F
