Abstract
This article describes a Prototyping Environment for Information Systems based on Semantic Data Models. This environment intends to reduce development and maintenance costs, handling all the development process at a design level. The approach is based on an exhaustive analysis of the data model. The rules that a prototype (generated from the model) must consider to guarantee the consistency and integrity of the data base can be inferred from the analysis. The run-time representation of the model is an ER-T (Heuser and Peres, 1991). A prototype of a development environment for this method has been implemented and is described.
