商品描述

This book teaches you how to capture and communicate both the abstract and concrete building blocks of your organization’s data, in order to provide a coherent and comprehensive foundation for systems development.

“This book presents the most comprehensive treatment of high-level abstractions I've seen. Any event, business, and/or systems analyst should have this book available, both as a learning text and as an indispensible reference book. The knowledge packed away in this book takes decades to acquire and gestate. We are all fortunate to have it in a single volume.”
James Odell

"David addresses a key, difficult, challenge for data modelling (and ontology) in this book - extracting the common pattern that underlies and unifies the variety of real data models that people use. And, what is almost as important to many readers, he does this in a clear and understandable way."
Chris Partridge
Chief Ontologist, The BORO Centre

"A great data model, one that lays the essence of a business bare, is a thing of beauty. It simplifies process, eases communication, and brings order to chaos. A great data model serves for a lifetime. Powerful stuff, this."
Tom Redman, President
Navesink Consulting Group, LLC

"Finally, choosing a level of abstraction for a data model is addressed methodically. David should be applauded for grasping this thorny issue and producing a wonderfully readable book. Every data modeler should have one".
Cliff Longman, President

In 1995, David Hay published Data Model Patterns: Conventions of Thought - the groundbreaking book on how to use standard data models to describe the standard business situations. Enterprise Model Patterns: Describing the World builds on the concepts presented there, adds 15 years of practical experience, and presents a more comprehensive view.

This model addresses your enterprise via four levels of abstraction:

Level 0: An abstract template that underlies the Level 1 model, plus two meta models: Information Resources and Accounting. Each of these itself represents the rest of the enterprise, so to model it is to “model a model”, so to speak.

Level 1: An enterprise model that is generic enough to apply to any company or government agency, but concrete enough to be readily understood by all. It describes people and organizations, geographic locations, (physical) assets, activities, and time.

Level 2: A more detailed model describing specific functional areas: facilities and other addresses, human resources, communications and marketing, contracts, manufacturing, and the laboratory.

Level 3: Examples of the details that can be added to a model to address what is truly unique in a particular industry. Here you see how to address the unique bits in areas as diverse as criminal justice, microbiology, banking, oil field production, and highway maintenance.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書教導您如何捕捉和傳達組織數據的抽象和具體構建塊,以提供系統開發的一致且全面的基礎。

「這本書提供了我所見過的最全面的高層抽象處理。任何事件、業務和/或系統分析師都應該將這本書視為學習文本和不可或缺的參考書。這本書中所蘊藏的知識需要數十年的時間才能獲得和孕育。我們都很幸運能夠在一本書中獲得這些知識。」
James Odell

「David在這本書中解決了數據建模(和本體論)的一個關鍵且困難的挑戰 - 提取構成和統一人們使用的各種真實數據模型的共同模式。對於許多讀者來說,幾乎同樣重要的是,他以清晰易懂的方式做到了這一點。」
Chris Partridge
The BORO Centre 首席本體論學家

「一個出色的數據模型,能夠將企業的本質展現得一覽無遺,這是一種美妙的事情。它簡化了流程,促進了溝通,並為混亂帶來秩序。一個出色的數據模型可以使用一生。這真是強大的東西。」
Tom Redman,總裁
Navesink Consulting Group, LLC

「最後,這本書有系統地解決了數據模型的抽象層次的選擇問題。David應該因為理解這個棘手的問題並出版了一本非常易讀的書而受到讚揚。每個數據建模師都應該擁有一本。」
Cliff Longman,總裁
Adaptable Data

1995年,David Hay出版了《數據模型模式:思維慣例》 - 這本開創性的書籍介紹了如何使用標準數據模型來描述標準業務情境。《企業模型模式:描述世界》在此基礎上進一步發展,增加了15年的實踐經驗,並呈現了更全面的視角。

該模型通過四個抽象層次來描述您的企業:

第0層:作為第1層模型的抽象模板,以及兩個元模型:信息資源和會計。每個元模型本身都代表了企業的其餘部分,因此對其進行建模就是“對模型進行建模”,可以這樣說。

第1層:一個企業模型,足夠通用以適用於任何公司或政府機構,但具體到足以被所有人理解。它描述了人員和組織、地理位置、(實體)資產、活動和時間。

第2層:更詳細的模型,描述特定的功能領域:設施和其他地址、人力資源、通信和市場營銷、合同、製造和實驗室。

第3層:展示如何添加到模型中以應對特定行業中真正獨特部分的詳細信息的示例。在這裡,您可以看到如何應對犯罪司法、微生物學、銀行業、油田生產和公路維護等各種不同領域中的獨特部分。
