Seminar Outline:

Each three-day seminar will focus on the use of Object-Role Modeling to correctly model your business data requirements. Each day also contains "hands on" labs where students practice the technique while ORM certified instructors give one-on-one assistance.

Students will learn:

· Why you should model at the conceptual level and the differences between the conceptual, logical, and physical levels. · How to gather data requirements in an accurate, consistent, rigorous manner more expressive than Entity-Relationship modeling and OO (UML) techniques
· How to transform this additional knowledge into ER diagrams and UML class models
· How to integrate what you have learned into your current analysis and design processes (and the tools you already use!)

· How to use the Conceptual Schema Design Procedure (CSDP)
· Various tool and method tips and tricks
· How to use ORM as an effective bridge between your analysis and design

efforts
· How to create correct, normalized schemas without manual normalization · How to correctly implement surrogate keys without losing any domain knowledge

· How to ensure domain (not just data type) integrity
· How to gather attribute level constraints
· How to completely verify that your models are correct
· Effective and correct data schema transformations
· How to make your user community understand -- and more importantly,

verify -- your modeling effort

· How to model in a less error-prone manner
· Why you shouldn't worry if an element is an entity or an attribute
· How to quickly use semantic methods to verify existing ER models
· Advanced modeling constructs and techniques

In addition, each student will receive:

· A copy of (the revised 1999 second edition of) Conceptual Schema & Relational Database Design by Dr. Terry Halpin · Various course materials
· A Visio Enterprise Test Drive CD (which also contains VisioModeler and Active Query as well as various white papers)

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.
