About the Journal of Conceptual Modeling

The Journal of Conceptual Modeling is a free journal dedicated to data modeling, design, and implementation issues.

About InConcept, Inc.

InConcept, Inc. is dedicated to excellence in data modeling. Placing an emphasis on the conceptual model using Object-Role Modeling (ORM), InConcept uses this higher level of design as a more suitable approach for review with business-oriented customers, while simultaneously using the logical and physical models, completely derivable from the conceptual model, for review with the technical staff. Modeling a database at the conceptual level significantly reduces design errors -- reducing overall cost -- while using ORM enables the designer and the business user to communicate and capture business rules more readily and easily.

InConcept's capable staff of ORM experts (certified by Dr. Terry Halpin, the founder of modern ORM, and recognized by Visio Corporation) comprise more than 50 years of practical experience using ORM to design data systems.
