Beyond Software Architecture

I just finished reading this book, in the holidays. Informatiove is the word. I recommend any one starting SOHO software business to read this book. Also Note There is anew web site for the Book annd Luke. The bottom line is you can not remove the human and marketing aspect from software development. It is an excellent book- worth reading especially by person who is not exposed to marketing of software. Get work Luke.


Informational Modeling and Relational Database

I am introducing Object Relation Modeling( ORM) as a process bfore UML based modeling can be used in Enterprise based modeling.

The reference that I am using is :

1.0 Information Modeling and Relational Databases- Using ORM with ER and UML- Terry Halpin- ISBN- 1-55860-672-6

In the first few chapters the information modeling seems an extention of semantic Modeling.
The author seems to suggest that we it is simpler to go from ORM based semantic modeling to Relational Entity- Relation Modeoing of Chen. I am not clear at this point hos this is done.
also since the ORm model gets big very quickly how do we control hierarchyy and multi page diagrams. More on this later.
