            Abstract : 
The general features of a graphical tool for conceptual design of data base applications are described. A set of primitives that aid the designer to incrementally specify data and transactions of interest by means of a high level diagrammatic specification is shown. Finally, the user interface, implementation features and open research problems are outlined.
