 ty.net/sessionPop.cfm?confid=126&proposalid=10349\n<p>Data modelers intervi
 ew business experts, study piles of requirements, talk extensively, and the
 n, hocus pocus, present a diagram with boxes, crows feet, arrows, etc&helli
 p;. Such data models can be quite abstract, misunderstood, and perceived un
 necessary.</p>\n<p>Fact-oriented information modeling is the very opposite 
 of abstract, using natural language to express facts that are intelligible 
 to both business and IT. It does not require an understanding of the magica
 l language of boxes and arrows. Although fact-oriented models can be presen
 ted in several diagramming notations, the information can always be express
 ed in natural language. This gives data modelers, technically skilled peopl
 e, and business people the benefit of having a fully documented, and easily
  validated model.</p>\n
