The primary purpose of the multipart standard ISO\/IEC 19763 is to specify a metamodel framework for interoperability. This part of ISO\/IEC 19763 specifies a metamodel for registering information models. This metamodel was developed taking into account two distinct types of information models such as<\/p>\n
those that are used to document the information requirements of a particular area of interest, and<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
those that represent the structure of a database which are often expressed using a Database Definition Language (DDL).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Information models that represent information requirements can be developed using a number of different common diagramming techniques and notations. The metamodel specified in this part of ISO\/IEC 19763 was developed to cover the registration of models expressed using the following techniques and notations:<\/p>\n
Express-G, an ISO standard entity-relationship modelling notation, as described in Reference [8];<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
IDEF1X, a US Federal standard entity-relationship modelling notation, as described in References [6] and [12];<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
the entity-relationship modelling notation first developed by Harry Ellis and Richard Barker and later adopted by Oracle for its CASE*Method and by the UK’s CCTA for SSADM (Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method), as described in Reference [2];<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
the UML Class Diagram notation, as described in References [13] and [14];<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
the original entity-relationship modelling notation proposed by Peter Chen, as described in Reference [4];<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
the Information Engineering entity-relationship modelling notation, as described in Reference [11].<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It is understood that these selected techniques represent all of the essential features of all information modelling techniques used to represent information requirements.<\/p>\n
The registration of information models that represent the structure of a database is limited in the metamodel specified in this part of ISO\/IEC 19763 to those database structures that conform to the Core SQL specification. Core SQL is the set of features defined in the conformance requirements specified in ISO\/IEC 9075-2 and ISO\/IEC 9075-11.<\/p>\n
The registration of information models that are expressed using notations such as Object Role Modeling (ORM) and “Natural language Information Analysis Method” (NIAM), collectively known as fact-based models, is out of scope for this part of ISO\/IEC 19763.<\/p>\n
