Database design recovery [PDF]
, 1996 The design of a software component, such as a database, is the trace of all the processes, products and reasonings that have led to the production of this artifact. Such a document is the very basis of system maintenance and evolution processes. Unfortunately, it does not exist in most situations.

The design of a document database [PDF]
Proceedings of the ACM conference on Document processing systems - DOCPROCS '88, 1988 In this paper a Document Base Management System is proposed that incorporates conventional database and hypertext ideas into a document database. The Document Base operates as a server, users access the database through different application programs. The query language which applications use to retrieve documents is described.

Inductive database design [PDF]
, 1996 When designing a (deductive) database, the designer has to decide for each predicate (or relation) whether it should be defined extensionally or intensionally, and what the definition should look like. An intelligent system is presented to assist the designer in this task.
