 ty.net/sessionPop.cfm?confid=133&proposalid=12742\nData modelers interview 
 business experts, study piles of requirements, talk extensively, and then &
 ndash; hocus pocus – present a diagram with boxes, crows feet, arrows
 , etc. Such data models can be quite abstract, misunderstood, and perc
 eived unnecessary.\nFact-oriented information modeling is the very opposite
  of abstract, using natural language to express facts that are intelligible
  to both business and IT. It does not require an understanding of the magic
 al language of boxes and arrows. Although fact-oriented models can be prese
 nted in several diagramming notations, the information can always be expres
 sed in natural language. This gives data modelers, technically skilled peop
 le, and business people the benefit of having a fully documented and e
 asily validated model.\nLearn Fact-Oriented Modeling:\n\n
