Understand how to move from a semantic model to a logical model

Course schedule

1
Introduction

  • The role of data in the IS.
  • Overview of modeling techniques and methods.

2
Data Dictionary

  • Data search.
  • Sources: Review of existing applications, management documents, strategic choices of the company.
  • Data description: Naming rules, definition rules. Documenting existing systems.
Hands-on work
Writing a data dictionary.

3
Semantic data modeling

  • How to define data independently of the logical and physical infrastructure.
  • Data modeling levels: Specification level; design specification level.
  • Approaching this problem with UML. The UML class diagram. Classes, attributes, objects, associations, constraints.
  • How can the same problem be handled with another formalism? The entity-relationship diagram.
  • Standardization. How do normal forms help to understand the data?
  • The role of data in the description of business and oversight processes.
  • Get users involved in data modeling. Validation.
  • Addressing data in the context of detailed specification validation.
Hands-on work
Develop a UML class diagram from a dictionary Transform the created model into an entity-relationship model. Check the normality of the previous models.

4
Logical data modeling

  • The stages of model transformation.
  • The rules for moving from a semantic (conceptual) model to a logical model.
  • The passage from a logical model to the physical model, the optimization work.
  • Project manager’s participation in the optimization work.
Hands-on work
Turning a model into a logic model.

5
Modeling tools

  • Presentation of a UML tool (StarUML and/or PowerAMC).
  • Presentation of an entity-relationship tool (PowerDesigner "MCD version").
