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 discussion of information modelling is combined with a description of the EXPRESS information model specification language. EXPRESS is a new language that, when used with information modelling, negates 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.
