Towards a database body of knowledge: A study from Spain
Coral Calero Muñoz, Mario Piattini Velthuis, Francisco Ruiz González
Databases, the center of today's information systems, are becoming more and more important judging by the huge volume of business they generate. In fact, database related material is included in a variety of curricula proposed by international organizations and prestigious universities. However, a systemized database body of knowledge (DBBOK), analogous to other works in Software Engineering (SWEBOK) or in Project Management (PMBOK) is needed. In this paper, we propose a first draft for this DBBOK based on degree programs from a variety of universities, the most relevant international curricula and the contents of the latest editions of principle books on databases.
