[edit] Remarks

This sounds like something copied and pasted from a dry high buzzword quotient text book. This definitley needs rewriting to be useful as an encyclopedia entry , instead of the BS it is. Although it may be, they have done a good work..

I just revamped the definition, before I figured out how to identify myself to Wikipedia. Now that I have done so, I can admit, yes, it's my fault --Dave Hay.

Hi Dave, be sure to use the four tildes to name/timestamp your comments. I think this still needs further work - it's kind of like jumping into the deep end of the pool. How about something a little more accessible for those who are completely unfamiliar? Also, many data models might not have PERSON. You might also discuss the all-caps convention in your methodology.

I added some clarification and am digging into the history of this article. The first cut wasn't half bad. It seems to have gone through some ups and downs. Charles T. Betz 20:41, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Your clarification was good. It's looking good. Now, what do we do with "Data Model". Dave Hay 26 February 2006.

So, what do four tildes do? DaveHay 23:34, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

The four tildes (DEddy 15:50, 10 April 2006 (UTC)) sign, & time/date stamp your edit.

It is not giving exact idea of data modeling. Need to work out more on this.

Who entered the Zachman Framework description? Those categories have nothing to do with the Zachman levels.DavidCHay 21:49, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. Revert. Charles T. Betz 23:15, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Suggest data modeling - a verb, be the activity of constructing a data model, etc. per the first sentence or so and just refer to those pages. The sections on this page should be part of the sections under Data model (not data modeling), as the reference is to the artifact (data model), not the process (data modeling). Rather this page should preserve only those techniques one uses to create the data model (i.e. analysis). Gorbag42 (talk) 18:28, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
