Summary

A Japanese-language introduction to modeling techniques for business analysis and data design, by Masami Sato, an information systems consultant specializing in database design and modeling for business analysis. It centers on TM (Theory of Models, also known as T-shaped ER), a modeling method that subdivides tables under a strict grammar so that IT engineers share a common understanding and can build databases that withstand change. The book explains the theory and knowledge behind modeling, gives an overview of the modeling flow with TM, and then explains the techniques and grammar used in actual modeling, with exercises placed between the explanations. It also covers managing history data (temporal data) and building immutable data models by separating resources from events, ideas that resonate with the thinking behind event sourcing.

Target Readers

• Architects who struggle with designing history data and temporal data, and want to learn the techniques and grammar of TM with exercises to work through
• Engineers who want to translate a business domain into a model that does not break down, and to learn the theory and techniques for analyzing business structure accurately and modeling it
• Engineers who want to learn how TM (Theory of Models) lets IT engineers share a common understanding and supports databases that withstand change
