"Comic - A Project for Developing Tools for Conceptual
Modelling and Information Construction"
Abstract: The goal of the project is to develop concepts,
methods and software tools to support end users and data
administrators in their work for developing a conceptual
schema on a graphical workstation. A graphical language,
Concept D contains two sublanguages, one for describing
independent concept defninitions and one for describing the
conceptual schema.
The information given in the conceptual schema is stored
into the data base from which it can be analyzed and
manipulated for different purposes, e.g. for producing
a data base schema. The presentation gives also the
outline of the architecture of the comic-system which
is being developed at the University of Tampere.
