Transformation of requirement specifications expressed in natural language into an EER model
A tool for conceptual design is introduced which transforms requirement specifications in natural language into concepts of the EER...
A commonsense reasoning facility based on the entity-relationship model
Various expert systems have been developed that attempt to automate the database design process. Although these systems may have...
DETERM: Deterministic Event-Tuned Entity-Relationship Modeling
This paper addresses the issue of modeling alternatives in entityrelationship modeling. A method is presented which allows to choose...
A generic data model for the support of multiple user interaction facilities
User interaction facilities are usually the weakest component of DBMS. They are typically few in number and quite impoverished...
Reflection in a uniform behavioral object model
We present the uniform meta-architecture of the TIGUKAT object model and show how it provides reflection in objectbase management...
Using queries to improve database reverse engineering
This paper describes a technique that supports Extended Entity-Relationship (EER) schema extraction from an operating relational database. In this...
Relative constraints in ER data models
Practical extensions to the Entity-Relationship (ER) model to support inter-entity constraints, referred to as relative constraints, are described and...
Reconstruction of ER schema from database applications: a cognitive approach
In the Forward Engineering phase, the designer modifies the database conceptual schema and produces a logical and physical schema...
Extracting an entity relationship schema from a relational database through reverse engineering
This paper presents a method for extracting a conceptual schema from a relational database. The method is based on...
Leveled entity relationship model
Layering ER diagrams has been a key tool to abstract the complexity of large data schemas generated by enterprise...
