The ORM Foundation

Hi Scott, You're right, I did mean to say ORM Reading Editor, rather than ORM Fact Editor. Quite a few editors in NORMA. BRN..

Brian, you are referring to the Readings Editor instead of the Fact Editor, correct?

I'm not sure how much the Fact Editor Intellisense codebase has changed since I worked in it. The hardest part was just setting up the ability to do any Intellisense. Once that was introduced coming up with the ''Completion Set'' was the easy part, and we stopped with just Object Types. Querying the model for fact types and roles should be fairly ...

Hi, Maybe it's already in the works, but making it easier to add roles into ''New'' facts in the ORM Fact Editor would be helpful. Having to manualy place the cursor between {0} and {1}, and remembering to add spaces gets old fast. Also, is there a reason why {0) and {1} are used instead of the Object Type names that are already selected in ...

Hi, Working through the ''Creating ORM Schemas'' Word document bundled with the NORMA material, I see that you are using Intellisense with some tools. Trying it with the ORM Fact Editor brings up a list of Object Types (with a CNTRL + Space key combo). This is helpful, but it look like it would be more helpful if Intellisense was used in more ...

Ok, we'll work with what works for now. BRN..

Thanks, I was able to get the ring contraint in place and selected what I hope is the appropriate type. I'll need to a model with some known data to make sure that what I think I'm doing is what is being done. I'll work on a test model later (Perhaps something biblical - where the data and the rules for ''begetting'' are well established, and ...

The UI to access the generation features is currently implemented as a Visual Studio custom tool, which is unfortunately only supported by some project types. Specifically, we have tested it with the various Visual Basic and C# project types, though it will probably also work for the J# project types. We will likely be creating an ORM project ...

To add a ring constraint to the diagram, you should be able to just drag it on from the toolbox and hook it up to the appropriate roles using the same process through which other external constaints are hooked up to roles. Once it is on the model, you should be able to change what type of ring constraint it is through the property browser (until ...

In InfoModeler, I had a bit of a tough time figuring how, and how best to use ring constaints. I see ring contraints in the Toolbox, but I'm not at all sure I'm using the correct method of adding them to the model. This is even harder without being able to use sample data to suggest which ring contraint to use. Anyone worked out the correct way ...
