Information Modeling: The EXPRESS Way

This discussion of information modelling is combined with a description of the EXPRESS information model specification language. It should interest data modellers in both universities and businesses, especially those concerned with object-oriented systems.

---

This book discusses information modelling combined with a description of the express information model specification language. EXPRESS is a new language that when used with information modelling abstracts away the implementation bias prevalent in current data modelling technology.

One of the main tenets of EXPRESS is that a clear separation exists between the information model and the information system environment - a piece of information is not tied to a single application that uses it.

The book will be of interest to data and information modellers in both universities and businesses, especially those concerned with object-oriented systems as it illustrates the development and use of information models using EXPRESS.
