Dr. Gordon C. Everest is Professor Emeritus of MIS and Data Management
in the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesotas.
His Ph.D. dissertation, "Managing Corporate Data Resources" became
the textbook entitled: "Database Management: Objectives, System
Functions, and Administration". He is also a contributing author
of the CODASYL Systems Committee technical report, "A Framework
for Distributed Database Systems: Distribution Alternatives and
Generic Architectures", and of the final technical report of the
ANSI ASC X3 SPARC DBSSG Object-Oriented DBMS Task Group, released
in 1991. He participated in the ANSI standards community to develop
a Common Unified Data Modeling Scheme and investigate Object-Oriented
Database Management Systems.
Gordon has been teaching all about databases, database management
systems, database administration, and data warehousing since 1970.
In addition to assisting many organizations and government agencies
design their databases, he has been introducing students to Object-Role
Modeling (ORM).
Gordon enjoys giving talks to data management professionals. These
presentations are very well received, engaging with lots of stimulating
discussion and interaction. They are challenging, informative, and
fun. Put after lunch, the attendees will not fall asleep!
Overcoming the limitations of ER Modeling - Looks at the
semantics implied by an ER/Relational data structure, and difficulties
stemming from thinking in terms of relational tables. Really challenges
thinking about what we do as data modelers. Reveals not only what
is wrong with ER/Relational modeling but also points to a better
way to do data modeling using Object Role Modeling (ORM).
Introduction to ORM Modeling - ORM uses two constructs:
Object (which includes both entity and attribute) and Role (of Object)
in a relationship, unlike traditional ER/Relational modeling. It
enables capturing richer semantics in a data model, and a more understandable
presentation to users.
