Abstract

This paper presents the use of heuristics gained from the syntactic and semantic knowledge for the creation of database design in terms of the Entity-Relationship(ER) model through natural language processing. The application of both syntactic and semantic heuristics is used as the strategy to obtain the relevant ER elements such as entities, attributes and relationships from the specifications. Results on the use of the semantic heuristics show that these may help to further improve the results in the automatic detection of the ER elements.
