Database Design Tools: An Expert System Approach
Summary: SECSI is a Prolog-based expert system that converts application descriptions (NL subset, formal, or graphical) into a semantic network. Design rules transform this network into flat normalized relations, with interactive, evolutive rule editing by the design expert. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
