Fact-based object-oriented database design tool with a natural language interface

Abstract

Nowadays, most database design tools are based on the Entity-Relationship model (ERM). The design schema is in graphical ER format and the output schema is in relational database data definition language. This research paper presents the design and development of an object-oriented database design tool. The input schema is in the form of fact-based natural language sentences. Outputs can be in relational database data definition language. Integrity rules can also be generated into relational stored procedures or object methods.
