- 9. Object-Role Modeling (ORM)
• ORM is conceptual modeling language.
• ORM has an expressive graphical notation.
• ORM is designed for modeling DB schemes at the conceptual level.
You build an ORM schema and then click a bottom to automatically generate
a database.

Conceptual Level Logical Level
Our goal in this course is to use ORM as general Conceptual Modeling
language, rather than as database modeling language.
ORM can be used for modeling business rules, ontology, XML
schemes, and others.

- 18. Modeling Approaches (short discussion)
Which is more intuitive for modelers? For domain experts?
ER-model UML-model
Nice for picturing to DB-schemes Close to the way programmers
think
ORM-model
Suitable for general
conceptual modeling, not
only DB schemes
