Feasibility Study in Linguistically Motivated Object-Oriented Conceptual Designof Information Systems

摘要

In designing information systems words are being used: words with a fixedmeaning, such as keywords and words chosen by the designer denoting entities, relationships, attributes, values, actors, messages, etc. Usually these words have a certain meaning and usually their usage is according to that meaning. The paper describes how a Lexicon, containing these words and their meaning, can be used fruitfully in two ways: combined with a CASE tool in interpreting diagrams and in analyzing natural language specifications.
