We make IT better. Together!

• Titanic Data (Model)

  On many conferences where AI, ML or data science is mentioned, a simple dataset is used to underpin the storyline of the sessions. The Titanic dataset is such a relatively small and simple example. Until now a Fact Oriented Model was absent. So, let's see how we can build one out of the dataset by verbalizing it.

• Recursive Model

  This example illustrates the recursive capabilities of CaseTalk in a commonly encountered situation: folders and files on a hard-disk.

• Transformation of Models

  A conceptual information model of the business is a great asset, as well as a solid investment due to it being independent of technology. Since IT undergoes rapid changes, the only truly long-living asset is the information model.

• Short Modeling Tutorial

  This example is also given as an example with the CaseTalk download. This example demonstrates the method of information modeling using CaseTalk.

• Flexible Data Models

  Rick van der Lans states in articles and seminars that it would be nice for database implementations to be more generic. Have less business rules implemented in the database structure and more in constraints. Consequences for having rules change are enormous.
