Using Natural Language for Database Design

چکیده
This paper deals with a natural language dialogue tool for supporting the database design process. We want to illustrate how natural language (German) can be used for obtaining a skeleton design and for supporting the acquisition of semantics of the prospective database. The approach is based on the assumption that verbs form a central part in defining the meaning of sentences and imply semantic roles in the sentences which have to be filled by objects. We are using a moderated dialogue for drawing the designer's attention to these objects in order to extract comprehensive information about the domain.

Design and Implementation of an Intelligent Part of Speech Generator
The aim of this paper is to report on an attempt to design and implement an intelligent system capable of generating the correct part of speech for a given sentence while the sentence is totally new to the system and not stored in any database available to the system. It follows the same steps a normal individual does to provide the correct parts of speech using a natural language processor. It...
متن کاملA natural-language approach to biomimetic design
This paper summarizes various aspects of identifying and applying biological analogies in engineering design using a natural-language approach. To avoid the immense as well as potentially biased task of creating a biological database specifically for engineering design, the chosen approach searches biological knowledge in natural-language format, such as books and papers, for instances of keywo...
متن کاملSemantic Analysis of Natural Language Queries Using Domain Ontology for Information Access from Database
This paper describes a method for semantic analysis of natural language queries for Natural Language Interface to Database (NLIDB) using domain ontology. Implementation of NLIDB for serious applications like railway inquiry, airway inquiry, corporate or government call centers requires higher precision. This can be achieved by increasing role of language knowledge and domain knowledge at semant...
متن کاملAn Informal and Efficient Approach for Obtaining Semantic Constraints Using Sample Data and Natural Language Processing
The main objective of database modelling is the design of a database that is correct and can be processed eeciently by a database management system. The eeciency and correctness of a database depends among other things on knowledge about database semantics because semantic constraints are the prerequisite for normalization and restructuring operations. Acquisition of semantic constraints remain...
متن کاملAn Efficient Database Design for IndoWordNet Development Using Hybrid Approach
WordNet is a crucial resource that aids in Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks such as Machine Translation, Information Retrieval, Word Sense Disambiguation, Multi-lingual Dictionary creation, etc. The IndoWordNet is a multilingual WordNet which links WordNets of different Indian languages on a common identification number given to each concept. WordNet is designed to capture the vocabulary...
