The ORM Foundation

Hi there, I notice that nORMa allows me to have 3 'Value Types' with Roles linking each respectively within a Ternary FactType, and with a total internal uniqueness constraint spanning each of the 3 roles. When I went to school, we were taught that it wasn't really done to have a total internal uniqueness constraint (spanning ...

Hi John, I just read your initial post, and I believe that I can relate to what you envisage. My background is telecommunications billing. As you can imagine, when you have a database with millions of customers, and (what amounts to) data that will be used to bill them....it has to be right. We often used a tool that we made, called a ...

Hi there, I believe OF is as good a place as any if I want to find logicians. Does anyone know how well known it is that theorems of 'Second Order Logic' may be expressed/interpreted as isomorphic interpretations of theorems expressed in First Order Logic. i.e. Is there good documentary evidence that although Godel's ...

Hi Ken, Okay, okay. I concede. In another life I would have been a lawyer. I certainly have enough paranoia to ask the probing questions! You do well to to see me for what I am, harmless but shrewd. Certainly I get to know you this way and visa versa. That's a shame about the the effort required. That's pretty harsh. To be honest, it ...

Sure I get it Ken. You just deleted something like 3 forums, so going from what you said, you now have space to start a new forum. If Richmond doesn't get the traffic, then you delete it. Get it!! I didn't expect you to delete the other forums, just because of my request. Now they are gone too. As a customer, I was kinda hoping they ...

Hi Ken, Your proposal was to leave nORMa at the top of the Tools Forum, and have 'Other' as alternative. I accepted that. This morning, when I log in, I find nORMa and COGNiam, and Other. Is it at all possible that there is a natural bias towards these two software packages, that is now reflected in the site? Of course, I agree that ...

Hi Ken, Well, let's go with what you suggest then. By all means, I don't want to have any other Forum/Topic deleted just to satisfy any need that I might personally have. That'd be silly. Oh, heck, for want of a pun...it 'is' in the 'marketing'...thus the use of 'facts' (plug plug for ORM). Thank ...

Hi Ken, Thank you. While nORMa is good, I wouldn't go as far as to say I'd support that proposal.  What has impressed me so far about ORMFoundation.org is that it is (on the whole)...'all about ORM', rather than 'all about nORMa'. For example, how can we have serious discussion on a common meta-model if there is ...

Hi Ken, We're just wondering if Richmond can have a Forum topic under 'Tools'. Richmond is our ORM offering which is taking shape rather rapidly now. For anyone reading this who has ever developed a graphical conceptual modeling tool from the ground up (and I know many in this forum fit this bill), you'd know that it is ...

Hi Brian, Thank you for providing more information on your day-to-day ORM needs. The reason that I asked is that we (my company Viev Pty Ltd) is making reasonable progress with our ORM tool, 'Richmond'. Our vision is to have a tool which, while supporting ORM v2.0, will be quite dissimilar to nORMa, in that we tie 'Use ...
