Data Modeling with UML
The Presentations and Presenters:
Due to the single-system-at-a-time development approach that most of us have experienced over the years, the development of reusable data structures that can be reused over and over again is not intuitive. Most people would agree that if a set of proven, reusable data structures were available that we could reuse in most of our data warehouse and even transaction processing designs, it would be a benefit to our organizations.
This presentation is an overview of reusable data structure patterns that will be valuable assets in your data warehouse and other projects. Topics covered include:
How these patterns reduce complexity and reduce cost.

Finally database modelers can now reap the same rewards from using the Unified Modeling Language as application developers have been doing for years. Application and database modelers can now speak one language - UML. No longer are database analysts, modelers, and designers relegated to the tail end of the development lifecycle. Now database designers can participate from the inception of the project, helping shape those early decisions that often have a critical impact on the system’s data. Also, being able to link together the object and data models, and thereby improving the understanding of both, helps yield higher quality systems.
