内容説明

An introduction to Entity-Relationship-Modeling, showing how the technique can be applied to interface issues. The book explains those aspects of entity-relationship modeling which are relevant to ERMIAs, and presents the extensions to the notation that are necessary for modeling interfaces. Bridging the gap in the development of interactive systems, ERMIA provides a set of concepts which can be used equally easily by software developers and interface designers alike.
