| Summary: | Fact-orientation is a conceptual approach to
modeling information systems that captures the facts of
interest in natural sentence structures without forcing some
aspects to be modeled as attributes of other structures. Its
graphical notation for data modeling enables a vast variety of
business constraints to be depicted visually, while its formal
basis in logic enables models to be transformed into
implementation targets for execution. This paper provides a
state-of-the-art overview of fact-orientation in general and
second-generation Object-Role Modeling (ORM) in particular,
highlighting its conceptual and visual support for logic-based
modeling, and contrasting it with other data modeling
approaches. |
