Towards a Combination of Three Representation Techniques for Conceptual Data Modeling

Abstract

Conceptual modeling for database design needs simple and easy to use techniques for gathering and presenting information. Furthermore these approaches must be a means for communication between different kinds of stakeholders. In this paper a combination of such techniques are presented. It will be proposed how a glossary based representation, a graphical representation as well as a verbalization of concepts can be used together for communication with the end user.
