Abstract

A language suitable for system specification should allow a specification to be based on a cognitive model of the process being described. In part, such a language can be obtained by properly combining certain conceptual abstractions of entity-relationship data models with reference and control concepts designed for programming languages. Augmenting the resulting language with formal versions of several natural language constructs, such as temporal reference, further decreases the coynitive distance between specifications of large systems and the modelled world.
