I have been looking at data models for the ISO STEP/PDES data exchange standards. Conventional structural models are produced using NIAM (Nijssen Information Analysis Method) and IDEF1X. Activity models are produced using IDEF0. Does anyone know of any references relating to the IDEF modelling methods? Is anyone actually using them ? Regards Brian -- Brian J.

I don't personally care for the approach because I learned using a different one, but the course was good. You can contact them at: D Appleton Co. (DACOM) 225 S.
