A STEP Towards Realizing Codd’s Vision of Rendezvous with the Casual User
Summary: STEP enables natural-language access to relational databases via a semantic grammar mapping phrasal patterns to a decidable fragment of tuple relational calculus. Bi-directional parsing/generation enables clarification dialogs and inverse NL-to-TRC parsing, with admin-authored grammars for domain use and field testing. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
