From bd3@cosmos.inria.fr Origine: bd3@cosmos.inria.fr Subject: N L D B ' 9 5 Elisabeth.Metais@prism.uvsq.fr communique: N L D B ' 9 5 * First Workshop on Applications of NATURAL LANGAGE to DATA BASES * Versailles, France, JUNE 28-29 1995 ________________________________ / C A L L F O R P A P E R S / ________________________________ This workshop aims at bringing together researchers, potential industrial and users, interested in various applications of natural language in the database field. The integration of databases and natural language has been for a long time an utopia. Since two decades, consulting databases or getting answers in natural language remain a dream for many users. This is nowadays an accessible convergent point for which a lot of researchers are focusing on. It is mainly due to the large progress of research in natural language and to the development of new technologies which allow the storage of real semantic electronic dictionaries. Each aspect of the life cycle of the information system may be improved by using natural language techniques : database design (specification, validation, conflicts resolution), database query languages and consulting programs that use new software engineering research allowing natural language program specifications. TOPICS: Major Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to, the following: - Natural languages interfaces for database querying, - Natural language as a specification interface for database design, - Paraphrasing of database design conceptual schema in natural language, - Linguistic aspects of view integration, - Conceptual modelling and linguistic knowledge, - Use of linguistic tools and electronic dictionaries, - Textual databases, indexing and retrieval, - Generating texts from structured data, - Generation of natural language texts from formal specifications, - Semi-formal interfaces for interacting with databases, - Hypertext facilities for database querying.

The integration of databases and natural language has been for a long time a marginal topic for which only a few research has been done. For two decades, consulting databases or getting answers in natural language remain a long term objective for many users. This is nowadays an accessible convergent point for which a lot of researchers are focusing on. This is mainly due to the large progress of research in natural language and to the development of new storage technologies which allow large semantic electronic dictionaries. Each aspect of the life cycle of the information system may be improved by using natural language techniques : database design (specification, integration, conflicts resolution), database querying, paraphrasing of data models and query anwers, integrity specification and design validation. Beyond this general use of natural language, different specific applications such as dictionnaries or automatic indexing are also related to both domains of natural language and databases. Papers which will be presented during this workshop cover most of these topics.
