A tool for conceptual design is introduced which transforms requirement specifications in natural language into concepts of the EER model. The transformation is based on the assumption that the meaning of data modeling concepts can be derived from structures of natural language. A parsing algorithm which accesses information of a grammar and a lexicon is designed to meet the requirements of the tool. The parsing results are processed further on by rules and heuristics which set up a relationship between linguistic and design knowledge. The design tool works interactively to handle information which is ambigous, incomplete or redundant.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/BFb0024368
