Описание: Object-Role Modeling (ORM) is a fact-based approach to data modelling that expresses the information requirements of any business domain simply in terms of objects that play roles in relationships. All facts of interest are treated as instances of attribute-free structures known as fact types, where the relationship may be unary (eg: Person smokes), binary (eg: Person was born on Date), ternary (eg: Customer bought Product on Date), or longer. Fact types facilitate natural expression, are easy to populate with examples for validation purposes, and have greater semantic stability than attribute-based structures such as those used in Entity Relationship Modeling (ER) or the Unified Modeling Language (UML). All relevant facts, constraints and derivation rules are expressed in controlled natural language sentences that are intelligible to users in the business domain being modeled. This allows ORM data models to be validated by business domain experts who are unfamiliar with ORMs graphical notation. For the data modeler, ORMs graphical notation covers a much wider range of constraints than can be expressed in industrial ER or UML class diagrams, and thus allows rich visualisation of the underlying semantics. Suitable for both novices and experienced practitioners, this book covers the fundamentals of the ORM approach. Written in easy-to-understand language, it shows how to design an ORM model, illustrating each step with simple examples. Each chapter ends with a practical lab that discusses how to use the freeware NORMA tool to enter ORM models and use it to automatically generate verbalisations of the model and map it to a relational database.

Описание:
For a girl who doesn't have much time, every infinitesimal moment counts
Brianna is a math whiz. She's almost certain to be admitted to MIT--that is, if she survives to see her nineteenth birthday. Brianna has cystic fibrosis, and after her friend Molly died six months ago, it's hard for Brianna to let go of the feeling that she's next. Numbers make sense to Brianna--they give her something to think about besides her own crummy odds. To her great surprise, it is in math class that she discovers the infinity that exists between eighteen and nineteen.
Poignant and true, this story of one extraordinary teenage life is riveting. With Forever Changes, Brendan Halpin has crafted an unparalleled protagonist who will leave an indelible mark on readers.
"This is a heartbreaking story of courage, friendship, and acceptance, with some great math concepts to boot." --School Library Journal
"The writing . . . captures much dimension in the personalities of Brianna and those who love her." --Kirkus Reviews
"The story of a young woman whose time is measurable if not mathematically knowable . . . readers will be drawn by that affecting theme." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Written as a sequel to the authors previous book "Object-Role Modeling Fundamentals", this book briefly reviews the fundamentals of ORM, and then discusses additional topics such as model reports generation, vocabulary glossaries, relational mapping options, annotated relational schemas, schema optimisation, and data modelling patterns. Written in easy-to-understand language, it illustrates each topic with simple examples, and explains how to use the freeware NORMA tool to implement the ideas discussed. The book also includes many practical exercises to promote expertise in the techniques covered, with answers provided to all the exercise questions.
