Information Modeling and Relational Databases, Third Edition, provides an introduction to ORM (Object-Role Modeling) and much more. In fact, it is the only book to go beyond introductory coverage and provide all of the in-depth instruction you need to transform knowledge from domain experts into a sound database design. This book is intended for anyone with a stake in the accuracy and efficacy of databases: systems analysts, information modelers, database designers and administrators, and programmers. Dr. Terry Halpin and Dr. Tony Morgan, pioneers in the development of ORM, blend conceptual information with practical instruction that will let you begin using ORM effectively as soon as possible. The all-new Third Edition includes coverage of advances and improvements in ORM and UML, nominalization, relational mapping, SQL, XML, data interchange, NoSQL databases, ontological modeling, and post-relational databases. Supported by examples, exercises, and useful background information, the authors’ step-by-step approach teaches you to develop a natural-language-based ORM model, and then, where needed, abstract ER and UML models from it. This book will quickly make you proficient in the modeling technique that is proving vital to the development of accurate and efficient databases that best meet real business objectives.
The lifelong dedication of Terry Halpin and Tony Morgan to developing enterprise modeling concepts substantiates the significance of this work. The updated and expanded coverage, along with a plethora of exercises embedded in the chapters, enhance the book's value. The book stays current with the latest versions and trends, ensuring readers have access to the most recent developments in the field. The content encompassing ORM, ER, UML, SQL, and OWL has undergone comprehensive updates, incorporating their most recent iterations. Additional chapters addressing NoSQL technologies, such as key-value, column-oriented, and graph databases, have been integrated in this edition of the book. A chapter covering contemporary popular data file formats, such as XML and JSON, has been added. Extensive revisions have been made to all other chapters, enhancing the depth of coverage for numerous topics.
"This book is an excellent introduction to both information modeling in ORM and relational databases. The book is very clearly written in a step-by-step manner and contains an abundance of well-chosen examples illuminating practice and theory in information modeling. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in conceptual modeling and databases." — Dr. Herman Balsters, Director of the Faculty of Industrial Engineering, University of Groningen, The Netherlands
Presents the most in-depth coverage of object-role modeling, including a thorough update of the book for the latest versions of ORM, ER, UML, OWL, and BPMN modeling. Includes clear coverage of relational database concepts as well as the latest developments in SQL, XML, information modeling, data exchange, and schema transformation. Case studies and a large number of class-tested exercises are provided for many topics. Includes all-new chapters on data file formats and NoSQL databases.
Finally, I want to emphasize the book's relevance to a diverse audience, including data modelers, data engineers, data analysts, enterprise architects, and programmers, highlighting its inclusivity and accessibility. The incorporation of exercises throughout the book offers readers an interactive and immersive learning experience, fostering a deeper understanding of conceptual modeling.
