This book shows database developers how to build high quality data models, which form the center of application development. It is the only book offering rules and guidelines for judging model accuracy and completeness. The second edition of this book is needed because object-oriented methods have transformed the practice of data modeling necessitating changes and enhancements to the authors' data modeling techniques. In addition the authors have revamped and improved their data modeling rules and techniques that reflect their hands-on experience since the publication of the first edition in 1994.
