A nice book on information modeling

[Charlie Veniot]

Just in case anybody else geeks out on this stuff as much as I do ...

I found this nice (PDF) book about Fully Communication Oriented Information Modeling (FCO-IM).

Any time reading anything about ORM (Object-Role Modeling) and FCO-IM, comprehensive texts or short brochures/papers/discussions, is, in my view, time well-spent and helpful to shape anybody's perspectives regarding componentization/structuring of her/his own information projects.

My Tifoist project is very much inspired by ORM, FCO-IM, and NIAM.  Instead of re-inventing the wheel, I might as well stand tall on the shoulders and say Tifoist is much like ORM, FCO-IM and NIAM, minus all the diagramming stuff.  (I'm no much of a fan of diagrams except when created in a session with people as an activity to understand/solve something.  After which I prefer entering that information as text, then discard (or archive) the diagrams.)

Cheers !
