How can I use natural language in my modeling process to achieve high-quality information models?
Months ago I talked to Stephan Volkmann, the student I mentor, about possibilities to write a seminar paper. One suggestion was to write about Information Modeling, namely FCO-IM, ORM2 and NIAM, siblings of the Fact-Orietented Modeling (FOM) family. In my opinion, FOM is the most powerful technique for building conceptual information models, as I wrote in a previous blogpost Sketch Notes Reflections at TDWI Roundtable with FCO-IM.
Resilient and temporally correct dimension Id’s for fact as well as dimension tables
In a dimensional data model based on a Data Vault data model, are integer values still necessary as dimension Id’s? And if so, how can the dimension Id’s be provided correctly?
A few weeks ago I received a surprisingly open and honest feedback on my recently published article "13 tips ...". I never ever expected that! After a short email exchange, I was allowed to publish the feedback anonymously. Below is the incredible feedback[3]. You see, you are not alone with the challenges of a Data Vault project:
Hi Dirk
Thanks for sending me the English version of the paper. I'm based in […] [1] and Data Vault is not generally established here yet.
