The ORM Foundation

Ken, Thanks for the quick response.   I was a bit too early with my answer. After the message I checked my personal profile in order to adjust it and .... it was GMT+1 already. Mystery? Kind regards Sjir

Dear Ken, My watch (Amsterdam time) says it is 22:40 when I wrote the previous post. Is it intentional that the website says 17:40? Kind regards Sjir

Hello Brian, Please select what you think is the most convenient way of organising this; as far as I am concerned you are a much more experienced expert in Community Server than I am. As said before I believe it is enough challenge to limit the submission to three approaches: CogNIAM, ORM and SBVR.   I therefore like to propose ...

Hello Sjir, [Sjir: Dear Brian,] I've come back to your original question about modeling the OF website to post a proposal for a general fact-based modeling exercise.

Terry, Lex and Ken, First and for all thanks for your contributions to this thread. What would the conceptual world be without real examples? I said in the start of this discussion just to consider some other forms of atomicity.  Well here is my preferred model: ft1: SBVR expert <SBVR expert> started habitation on ...

Dear Ken, When I wanted to use the ORM Foundation statistics as an exercise in a FO class, I came across a problem. I have assumed that one of the principles underlying the UFO is consistency. When I was reading the forum statistics this morning, I read: 312 users have contributed to 83 threads. Looking at Tools, Norma I verbalize: Norma ...

Practice has shown that there is more that can be offered to a mature business modeling community. I ...
