This paper informally introduces a modular design strategy embedded in our graphical database design environment underlying graph grammar formalism and demonstrates its systematic use by specifying two database modules of the library domain. The main idea is to consider an Entity-Relationship scheme as a set of nested graphs. Therefore, graph grammars can be applied to describe designs, design modules and design primitives based on the application of graph grammar productions.
