Minneapolis – February 10, 2000 – InConcept, Inc. today announced the
release of the February issue of the Journal of Conceptual Modeling (JCM).

Now on its twelfth issue, the JCM is an online, free source of information

to the Unified Modeling Language (UML), the JCM’s distinguished list of
industry experts continue to write cutting-edge topics in conceptual
modeling.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the JCM contributors, this is another
great issue of the JCM. Dr. Terry Halpin continues his series on ER
Modeling. Dr. John Sharp provides us with another analysis problem and last
issue's solution. Dr. Zakaria Maamar, Nader Troudi, and Pamela Rostal

gives as a great ORM success story.

About the Journal of Conceptual Modeling

The Journal of Conceptual Modeling is a free journal dedicated to data
modeling, design, and implementation issues. The goal of this publication is
to promote communication between professionals, share knowledge, and to
educate our readers. The target audience is large: database professionals

and anyone else using, developing, or considering development of a database
system.

published by InConcept, Inc.

About InConcept, Inc.

InConcept, Inc. is dedicated to excellence in data modeling. Placing an
emphasis on the conceptual model using Object-Role Modeling (ORM), InConcept
uses this higher level of design as a more suitable approach for review with
business-oriented customers, while simultaneously using the logical and
physical models, completely derivable from the conceptual model, for review
with the technical staff. Modeling a database at the conceptual level
significantly reduces design errors -- reducing overall cost -- while using
ORM enables the designer and the business user to communicate and capture
business rules more readily and easily.

InConcept’s capable staff of ORM experts (certified by Dr. Terry Halpin, the
founder of modern ORM, and recognized by Visio Corporation) comprise more
than 50 years of practical experience using ORM to design data systems.
