Abstract :
How database design knowledge can be used to formulate queries in response to high-level requests is described. A prototype system, QUICK, is discussed that uses a knowledge-rich conceptual schema to identify semantically reasonable subgraphs that correspond to user intent. QUICK manipulates conceptual schema subgraphs to produce database queries. Furthermore, by treating the subgraphs as knowledge constructs, QUICK can be used for interactive design evaluation. QUICK´s functional architecture is described
