The ORM Foundation

  A spell-checking system, integrated into an ORM tool would be a very useful feature.  Until that becomes available, spelling errors can be limited by use of MS Word's ability to spell-check the text in images copied from the ORM designer in Visual Studio.  [The following was tested with VS 2005 and Word 2007 - other versions ...

Hi Ken, I tried accessing the help link from each page, and before or after sign-in.  It works fine. BRN..

  Sample Population Data Management The ability to verify Fact Types with Fact Instances, using sample population data is an important part of the ORM methodology.  How should an ORM tool, like nORMa, make the process of adding and managing sample data more efficient and effective? During the tool development process, different areas, ...

Now may not be the time, but I hope you'll consider a forum on Object Role Modeling style, at some point.  As the base of the forum posts increases, I expect we'll see more questions and comments, not about right or wromg ways of modeling, but on more or less useful ways.  Subtopics might include things like the number of ...

  Hi Victor, Thanks for starting this thread on the nature of the logical connection between ORM models and the target domain UofD.  Your statement/question should be addressed not only by ORM modelers, but by the more general fact-based modeling community. You've couched your concern in terms of First Order Logic, and other ...

Admin, Looks like the post marking system is working, and I've marked several posts (in threads I started), as answered.  I think the arrangement should work for most forums here, but more so where specific questions are asked (NORMA - Technical, for example).  A forum like "Issues" may be better left to ...

Hi Mike, Take a look at the readme file included in the zipped folder that has the nORMa CTP and other required files (actually, it's best to explicitly decompress all the files in the folder before going on). First, you'll need a copy of VS 2005 or VS 2008, and the edition level must be Standard or Above - doesn't currently work ...

Hi Matt, Fancy you, of all people, knowing the answer to this one. You explained your thinking well.  Perhaps there's a better term for what it's about than "ValueTypeValueRange."  A condensed version of your reply would make a good tool tip or property setting description (I noticed the box at the bottom of the ...

Hi Ken, I can't see them either.  There should have been two .pngs.  I had them in a docx that I Word-pasted.  I also tried adding them with insert image option.  Must have mixed up something. I suggest you zap the OP and these replies; and I'll repost it another time - nothing there that won't keep (and I still ...
