FOM as a method is described completely in the book Fully Communication Oriented Information Modeling, and further elucidated in the accompanying book with exercises and cases. The method is fully supported in conformity with the theory by to-the-point casetools. FOM is cornerstone of the Information Management Frame. This Frame is described in the book About Facts and Things.
The course Hands-On FOM gives you a whole new view on the difference between a truly conceptual information model and logical data structures. If all is well, these logical data structures are derived straightforwardly from the conceptual information model. And they are only then a solid basis for the various applications for the knowledge workers in an organization, if these knowledge workers have been truly able to validate the conceptual information model. The course teaches you to apply this true quality pursuing approach for application development in practice.
Ø Becoming familiar with the origin of and relationship between different methods for data modeling and data structuring, their specific approaches, and problems
Ø Getting to know FOM as modeling method
Ø Gaining an insight in the importance of concrete examples, and how the verbalization of facts, and the classification and qualification of them is done
Ø Getting to know the 'look and feel' of casetools
Ø Learning how to make an elementary IGD
Ø Becoming familiar with semantically equivalent transformations and their consequences for data structuring
Ø Becoming familiar with Unicity Constraints and Totality Constraints
Ø Becoming familiar with the nominalization test and other constraints
