Zusammenfassung

Ingenieurwissenschaftliche Datenbankanwendungen zeichnen sich durch eine Vielfalt von Modellierungskonzepten aus. Anstelle eines einzigen, durch die Vielfalt der erforderlichen Konzepte eher verwirrenden semantischen Datenmodells sollte man eine größere Zahl von speziell an die Anforderungen eines Anwendungsbereiches angepaßten Modellierungskonzepten anstreben. In diesem Beitrag wird dazu eine konstruktive Methodik in Form eines erweiterbaren semantischen Modells (ESM) für die Vereinbarung neuer semantischer Datenmodelle vorgeschlagen. Es wird die Architektur einer Entwurfsumgebung für den DB-Entwurf mit einem ESM beschrieben sowie die aus der Verwendung eines ESMs resultierenden Konsequenzen für die einzelnen Entwurfswerkzeuge: Formale Definition des Konzeptbegriffes zur präzisen Erfassung der Semantik eines Konzeptes, deklarative Beschreibung der graphischen Repräsentation eines Konzeptes, Testdatengenerierung auf konzeptueller Ebene und Schematransformation als Such- und Optimierungsprozeß. Die bisher gemachten Erfahrungen mit der Entwurfsumgebung deuten auf einen deutlichen Produktivitätsgewinn beim Datenbankentwurf hin.
