English sentence structure and entity-relationship diagrams. Chen, P. P. S. Information Sciences, 29(2-3):127–149, 1983. doi abstract bibtex In many information system projects, information requirements are initially documented in English, and then database designers convert these English descriptions into database schemas in terms of entity-relationship (ER) diagrams (or other similar representations). This paper studies the correspondence between English sentence structure and ER diagrams, and proposes eleven rules for translation. The basic constructs of English, such as noun, verb, adjective, adverb, gerund, and clause, are found to have counterparts in the ER diagrammatic technique. Finally, an example is used to demonstrate the applicability of these rules in database design. © 1983.
