Abstract
Conceptual modelling in the area of data-intensive systems produces database schemata and a variety of systems characteristics, which ideally could be used to facilitate the generation of an implementation. This paper proposes a framework for the development of patterns and components that will permit a direct computation of the corresponding functions, whenever all system parameters and the schemata of the application are known. For this a theory of genericity that is based on the linguistic theory of government and binding (GB), which consists of a two-step specialization of ideas or raw utterances, is developed. This theory of GB genericity is applied to obtain generic workflows and the functionality involved in them.
