A method for validating a conceptual model by natural language discourse generation

Hercules Dalianis

Abstract

The support systems for conceptual modeling of today lack natural language feedback. The paper argues for the need of natural language discourse for the validation of a conceptual model. Based on this conclusion a suggestion is made on a natural language discourse generation system as a validation tool and also as a support tool in simulating a conceptual model. Various appropriate natural language discourses are then proposed in the paper. To conclude the paper a support system based on the natural language generation techniques of today and on previous working systems constructed by the author is suggested.
