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 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.
