Description: Fully Communication Oriented Informationm Modeling (FCO-IM). It is a method for Fact Oriented Modeling.
fco-im (1) fact based modeling (1) fact oriented modeling (1) data model. (1)
FCO-IM is widely taught in the Netherlands and worldwide, amongst which are universities of Professional Education in the Netherlands. The method has proven its value, and is still actively used in multiple large-scale corporate environments. Branches covered vary from retail, logistics, banking, insurance to medical companies. FCO-IM includes an operational procedure specifying how to construct an information model, and is supported by software tools such as CaseTalk and Infagon.
The distinguishing feature of FCO-IM is that it models the communication about a certain Universe of Discourse (UoD) completely and exclusively, i.e.: it does not model the UoD itself, but rather the facts users exchange when they communicate about the UoD. FCO-IM is therefore a member of the family of information modeling techniques known as fact-oriented modeling (FOM), as are object-role modeling (ORM), predicator set model (PSM) and natural language information analysis method (NIAM).
There are two main reasons why FCO-IM claims to be "fully communication-oriented".
