The design and implementation of modern more "semantical" databases involves the use of high-level conceptual abstraction mechanisms and methodologies. An illustration of this process is given using the NIAM method and notation (lecture 1), its transformation into relational database with triggers (e.g. using SYBASE0 (lecture 2) and a study of the requirements for suitable tools (RIDL*) and their extension and applicability for e.g. object-oriented databases. A case study defined by a complex database for document handling will be used as example (lecture 3)..
