Multivocal Literature Mapping on DSLs and Tools for Entity-Relationship Modeling

<p><strong>[ERES 2021 - F&oacute;rum de P&oacute;s-Gradua&ccedil;&atilde;o]</strong></p> <p><strong>Abstract:</strong>&nbsp;The variety of database system technologies that became available in recent years makes difficult the selection of tools for modeling entity-relationship (ER). In this sense, we contribute with an overview of the recent innovations through a systematic literature mapping complemented by research in the gray literature. This paper scopes ten (10) primary studies focused on Domain-Specific Languages (DSL) and identifies fifty-five (55) tools already applied in industry and academia for ER modeling at the conceptual, logical, and physical level.&nbsp;Hence, as a significant increment to existing mapping studies, this presents the state of the art and practice for ER modeling, including its characterization and research gaps.</p>
