RE: [BULK] Re: Data Modeling

Pete,

I was looking for a graphical diagramming method.

I understand what you're saying. Thanks none the less!

Are you looking for things like XML Schema, Relax-NG, Schematron and so
on? 
Or are you looking for graphical methods?

If the latter, I'm not aware of any formal methods, but a number of
tools do represent schemas using graphical methods. However, in my
experience, in most cases the graphical representations only capture a
fraction of the information you need, and while sufficient for a screen
based representation with which you can click to get more information,
they probably don't translate well into paper based representations.

HTH,

Pete.

All,

Is there a popular notation for modeling a vocabulary? I'm accustom to
ERD's for database data modeling. I tend to use that for data modeling
XML vocabularies, but I want to know if there is a better way to do
this.
