Orm 2

چکیده
Object-role Modeling (ORM) is a fact-oriented modeling approach for specifying, transforming, and querying information at a conceptual level. Unlike Entity-Relationship modeling and Unified Modeling Language class diagrams, fact-oriented modeling is attribute-free, treating all elementary facts as relationships. For information modeling, fact-oriented graphical notations are typically far more expressive than other notations. Introduced 30 years ago, ORM has evolved into closely related dialects, and is supported by industrial and academic tools. Industrial experience has identified ways to improve current ORM languages (graphical and textual) and associated tools. A project is now under way to provide tool support for a second generation ORM (called ORM 2), that has significant advances over current ORM technology. This paper provides an overview of, and motivation for, the enhancements introduced by ORM 2, and discusses an open-source ORM 2 tool under development.

ORM to OWL 2 DL Mapping
The goal of this article is to map between Object Role Modeling (ORM) and Ontology Web Language 2 (OWL 2 DL). This mapping allows one to graphically develop his/her ontology using the ORM notation, while the ORM is automatically translated into OWL 2 DL. We map the most commonly used rules of ORM into OWL 2 DL which have the ability of decidability. DogmaModeler is extended to perform automatic...
متن کاملAutomated Verbalization for ORM 2
In the analysis phase of information systems development, it is important to have the conceptual schema validated by the business domain expert, to ensure that the schema accurately models the relevant aspects of the business domain. An effective way to facilitate this validation is to verbalize the schema in language that is both unambiguous and easily understood by the domain expert, who may ...

متن کاملThe NORMA Tool for ORM 2
Second generation Object-Role Modeling (ORM 2) is a prime exemplar of fact-orientation, an approach that models the underlying facts of interest in an attribute-free way, using natural sentences to identify objects and the roles they play in relationships. ORM 2 provides languages and procedures for modeling and querying information systems at a conceptual level as well as mapping procedures fo...
