The ORM Foundation

In the future, will NORMA support the generation of a VS.Net class diagram from an ORM Diagram? Personally I'm more interested in being able to generate E-R Schemas, xml schema and domain models from the conceptual model than actual code generation.

The VerbalizationGenerator.xml is not installed by the setup program. You can view it in the Subversion repository at http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/orm/trunk/ORMModel/ObjectModel/VerbalizationGenerator.xml. If you would like to check out the full repository, SourceForge provides instructions at ...

Thank you for the info about language changes. One question: What subdirectory is ORMModel\ObjectModel\VerbalizationGenerator.xml in? On my computer it is not in C:\Program Files\Neumont or C:\Program Files\Common Files\Neumont.

There are several resource files (5, I believe) that would need to be translated to change the full UI into English. There is also a separate mechanism for providing alternate verbalization. Neither of these should require C# code. Modifying the verbalizer (either into alternate English forms or a different language) is designed to be an XML ...

The verbalizer in NORMA isn't displaying any text for my subset constraints. It also doesn't generate any DDL. In Visiomodeler 3.1, VEA 2003 and VEA 2005 the verbalizer works for my subset example, but when I attempt to build a logical model, all three products raise a fatal error and the exe terminates. This is a stripped down version of my ...

I downloaded the zip file in the files directory that I found (NORMA_VS-2006-05CTP.zip) and ran the setup program, but I don't see any C# source code or in particular, the XML file that lets you translate the US English text. From what I can tell, all files installed by the setup program are in C:\Program Files\Neumont and C:\Program ...

Hi, Thanks for the responses. It helps to understand the environment within which the project is taking shape. This is, after all, a development process; so we all (I hope), understand, that the wrinkles will get ironed in time. Thanks Tyler, also for pointing out that 'FactType' and 'Fact Type' are being used internally (in the ...

Brian, thanks for your useful feedback. I asked Tyler to quickly get some documentation up before he graduated, and in the time available I think he did a good job, even if some of the wording could have been more precise. The documentation provided at this stage is not official, and is intended simply as a help to get you started. When we ...

There could be some ambiguity. When I was writing the walk-through (''documentation''), I'd used Fact Type in some places and Fact in others. The understanding I came to in my discussions with Terry is that the Fact Type is the collection of objects linked by the predicate. ''[Person] drives [Car]'' would be an example of Fact Type. It becomes ...

Hi, I think it would be helpful to the project to increase the activity level on these forums. While issues raised in the forums are generally addressed by project team members, it would be helpful if they provided more input. A habit of posting comments about areas that they are working on at present, the factors that are part of their ...
