7 Summary and Conclusions
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> This paper has outlined an application area that can serve as a test-bed for work on the processing of natural language text for the purpose of knowledge acquisistiort, a problem that is much wider than the specific case of information systems design. The role of natural language analysis and generation within an environment that also supports a WIMPs (Windows, Icons, Mice and Pointers) interface was defended, and the architecture of the software outlined.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Finally, the relative place of syntactic, semantic and real-world knowledge in conceptual modellingwas discussed, and the adaptation of a database interface to the analysis component of the system was describe&amp;</Paragraph>
