Hi Kenneth,

I hope you'll be able to find something. I've never found a good description of NIAM on Internet. And the books on NIAM that I know are all written in Dutch, and (AFAIK) have not been translated.

Anyway, the symbols used in NIAM and ORM are so much alike that they are almost interchangeble. The main difference is in the methods described in NIAM to make sure that all relevant questions are asked in an interview, that all answers are correct and that therefore the model is correct and complete. Unfortunately, that is exactly the part of NIAM that I've never seen described anywhere on the 'net...

Best, Hugo
