Towards Automatic Conceptual Database Design Based on Heterogeneous Source Artifacts

The paper presents an early prototype of the tool named DBomnia – the first online web-based tool enabling automatic derivation of conceptual database models from heterogeneous source artifacts (business process models and textual specifications). DBomnia employs other pre-existing tools to derive conceptual models from sources of the same type and then integrates those models, whereby the main challenge is related to the integration of conceptual models that are automatically generated and can be considered unreliable. The initial results show that the implemented tool derives models that are more precise and complete compared to the models derived from sources of the same type.
