Abstract

Diverse is a system that is designed to provide sophisticated access to external database systems. The requirements for such a system are outlined and the Diverse architecture is proposed for meeting those requirements. The Diverse system is built upon a relational database system for storing data and a knowledge base for interpreting procedural information. Diverse is intended to be an integrated environment consisting of a directory of information about the operation and semantics of external databases and media, a syntax-directed database translator, and a dialogue system for mechanizing routine operations.
