Senior Projects Fall 2021

For decades now relational databases, namely SQL, have been the industry standard. However, recently MongoDB and other NoSQL databases have been growing in popularity due to their flexibility and scalability. SQL still has the upper hand in a variety of areas, including data consistency, advanced and established analytics functions, and efficient “JOIN” functions. This project focuses on MongoDB’s shortcomings when it comes to replicating “JOIN” operations using MongoDB’s aggregate functions. “JOIN” operations refer to the action of comparing data from one or more collections of data and joining similar data together in order to analyze and draw statistics from the …

A Deductive Database For Knot Colourings, Dong Hyun Han

Senior Projects Spring 2021

This work constitutes progress toward the development of a knowledge base for braids, knots, and their colourings. The main result of this development is the creation of a logical model for storing data pertaining to braids, two-dimensional projections of three dimensional knots, finite quandles, and colorings of braids and knots by quandles. It uses the Entity Relationship data reference model as its starting point and makes the original design there. In addition, it includes a conversion of the Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) to SQL queries that define tables corresponding to the ERD entity sets. Finally this work demonstrates how to …
