Context
 IMM Aligned with
 Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Rules
(SBVR)
 Ontology Definition Metamodel (ODM)
 Knowledge Discovery Metamodel (KDM)
 Core Components
 IMM Incorporates
 Existing Common Warehouse Metamodel (CWM)
packages
 Transformations
 Warehouse processes
 IMM Optionally may incorporate metamodels for
 Express Record Structures
 Object-oriented Databases

IMM Status
 Developed IMM Core
 Developed ER metamodel
 Developed ‘Conceptual’ metamodel for
‘Relational Modeling’
 Developed XML Schema Profile
 Developing examples for IMM core, ER,
Relational and XML Schema metamodels
 Based on ‘EU Rent’ example from SBVR
 What is next?

Class of Platform Independent Models . . .
 Structured Representation of Business
Language
 Conceptual Entity/Relationship Model
 Entities – Things of significance to the
business
 Attributes – Characteristics of those things.
 Alethic assertions of relationships
 Subject entity
 Must be/may be
 Predicate (relationship/role name)
 Object entity
 Zachman, Row Three

A Sample Entity/Relationship Model . . .
Entities
LINE ITEM
part of
# LINE NUMBER
* QUANTITY
o (VALUE)
composed of
for
ORDER
# ORDER NUMBER
o (TOTAL VALUE)
PARTY
# ID
from
buyer in
Attributes
to
seller in
bought via
PERSON
* GIVEN NAME
o MIDDLE INITIAL
* SURNAME
for
ORGANIZATION
* ORGANIZATION NAME
* DESCRIPTION
bought via
SERVICE TYPE
PRODUCT TYPE
# SERVICE TYPE ID
o RATE PER HOUR
# PRODUCT TYPE ID
o PRICE
Of course these are actually “entity types” and
“attribute types”, but since all the elements of the
metamodel are, by definition “types” rather than
“instances”, we can lose the extra word.

Entity Types and Attributes . . .

entity type is either
