This paper describes the collection efforts for SpeechDat Cymru, a 2000-speaker database for Welsh, a minority language spoken by about 500,000 of the Welsh population. The database is part of the SpeechDat(II) project. General database details are discussed insofar as they affect recruitment strategies, and likely differences between minority language spoken language resource (SLR) and general...

In the FGCS project and its Follow-on project, we have designed and developed a nested relational database management system, Kappa, a deductive objectoriented database (DOOD) language (or a knowledge representation language), QUIXOT E, and a heterogeneous distributed cooperative problem solving system, Helios, for knowledge information processing applications. In this paper, from the viewpoint...

This paper discusses the construction of a typological database of agreement on the basis of fifteen languages taken from different language families so as to maximise diversity. For each of these languages, the database will contain detailed information about agreement controllers, targets, domains, categories, and conditions. Thus the database is designed to help us to develop a general typol...

In most information systems, databases are accessed and manipulated typically through systems developed to tailor-fit the company’s needs. The usual problem in these cases is the limitation on data accessibility because the users are constrained to the forms created for the system. Another way of accessing the database is through Structured Query Language (SQL), a language that is not familiar ...

In this paper we present the AMSABEL system, a natural language based information retrieval system. AMSABEL provides access to data stored in a relational database using unrestricted natural language. Queries can be expressed in either, English or Spanish, thereby providing direct access to the database for non-expert users. The system relies on machine learning techniques to translate the orig...

Database reverse engineering (DBRE) recovers a database design using a semantic data model. Most of the existing works and tools for DBRE and database design specify relational database schemas with extended ER models. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a standard language for modeling software and database systems. We discuss how to extend the UML metamodel with elements for modeling relat...

Many information systems are implemented as application programs connected to a database system. A characteristic problem of such systems is the famous impedance mismatch, i.e., the conceptual distance between the programming and the database languages. The traditional solution is to implement an interface that transforms one representation into the other. Commercial database systems ooer prepr...
