Yes you Can Create an Architectual Data Model in UML Traditionally, the object-oriented community and the data modeling and design community have found it difficult to understand each other. The premises are completely different. The entity/relationship model, which is the “data” people’s tool of choice, is not readily supported by UML, the object-oriented community’s tool of choice.
As a data modeler, your author has been one of UML’s strongest critics in the past. However, in the spirit of Richard Nixon, a fervent anti-communist, being the only one who could open a diplomatic door to communistChina, this presentation is an attempt to make peace between the two groups.
Yes, it is possible to create a serviceable entity/relationship model with the UML notation. Because UML was designed to support object-oriented design, and entity/relationship modeling is intended to produce models of the business for review by non-technical business people, some tinkering with the notation and a lot of tinkering with “best practices” are required to pull this off.
This presentation will describe what is required to do it. It will describe how to constrain both the assignment and the parts of UML to use, in order to make it all work. Along with that, it will present important aspects of business modeling that even many data modelers neglect—at their cost.
The presentation will include examples from Dave’s new book, Enterprise Model Patterns: Describing the World.
Ultimately, the goal is to present an approach to modeling that will produce outstanding models, regardless of the notation chosen.
Time permitting, sample models from Enterprise Model Patterns: Describing the World will also be shown to demonstrate the approach.
