The use of patterns in a design process, including data modeling, is an attempt to create a better solution to a problem. We propose the use of data model patterns, organized in a pattern language, and based on Fully Communication Oriented Information Modeling (FCO-IM) as the modeling approach, as a …

The article discusses a study to determine the efficacy of Fully Communication Oriented Information Modelling (FCO-IM) in generic data modelling. The researchers use two generic patterns based on the identification of an object and based on the relation between two objects to examine the FCO-IM efficacy. …
