I, Stephan, am very happy that I'm invited to give a presentation at the Knowledge Gap 2020 in Munich.
My presentation is about advanced techniques in Fact-Oriented Modeling.
Often data models are built with a technical focus, because they need to be delivered fast or must meet various technical requirements. Therefore, the business aspect and the meaning of objects and relationships are swept under the table. But then the business domain later hardly understands the data model and has problems to work with it in own applications or reports – which often results in a redesign of the data model and renewed time and cost expenditures.
