Information and Data Modelling by David Benyon is a comprehensive resource published by McGraw-Hill College on April 1, 1996. This second edition spans 291 pages and is presented in English. The book offers a revised exploration of database design, introducing new chapters on SQL and object-oriented techniques while reorganizing existing material into sixteen focused chapters that address key topics in database development.
Readers will find a thorough examination of the nature of information and its effective management, alongside various modelling methods for information systems. The text covers essential representations used in structured analysis and design, as well as the relational model and SQL for database manipulation. Additionally, it delves into techniques for designing normalized relations and the entity-relationship (E-R) model, providing a graphical approach to database design. This edition is particularly suitable for first- or second-year courses in data modelling for students in business studies, management, and computing.
Official synopsis Publisher
This is a completely revised version of David Benyon’s unique text on database design. New chapters are included on SQL (the standard relational database language) and on object-oriented techniques for information systems design. Other material has been re-organised into sixteen chapters – each focusing on an important topic in database development.
Information and Data Modelling (second edition) begins by considering the nature of information, how it can be produced from data and how it can be managed effectively. It then presents the main modelling methods for information systems, including all the main representations used in the structured methods of analysis and design, placing these alongside the models used in object-oriented systems. After introducing the relational model, SQL is used to illustrate how relational databases can be manipulated. Techniques for designing fully normalised relations are presented before the text deals in detail with the entity-relationship (E-R) model – a graphically-based technique for database design. Chapter 15 shows how the various models can be used together to represent the information requirements of an organisation.
This book is ideally suited for a first- or second-year course on data modelling for business studies, management and computing students.
