Abstract

Beyond the database normalization process, much work has been done on the use of functional dependencies (FDs), their discovery using mining techniques, their use in query optimization and in the design of algorithms dealing with the implication problem etc. Nevertheless, although much research expounds the benefits of using functional dependencies, only a few modeling tools actually use them. In this work we present CBD, a new software development tool which allows end users to specify their requirements. CBD allows the user to design his/her own GUI for the application using forms and interface elements and it builds a meta-data dictionary with information on functional dependencies. This data dictionary will be used to generate the unified data model and a behavior model.
