English abstract

Information modeling deals with designing the information structure in a specific universe of discourse. It is a fundamental stage of database design. IDEF1X is a language and method for information modeling. It is based on the Entity-Relationship model. This paper presents a tutorial on IDEF1X, describing the main language constructs, and outlining the phases that comprise the method. The method’s criterion for the approval of information models, based on the consensus of experts in a universe of discourse, is discussed.

Portuguese abstract

A modelagem da informação trata da concepção da estrutura da informação em determinado universo de discurso. O projeto de bancos de dados tem na modelagem da informação sua etapa mais fundamental. IDEF1X é uma linguagem e método para modelagem da informação baseada no modelo Entidade-Relacionamento. Este artigo apresenta um tutorial sobre IDEF1X, descrevendo as principais construções da linguagem e as etapas que constituem o método. Também, discute o critério de aprovação de modelos segundo o método IDEF1X, que permite representar em um modelo da informação o consenso de peritos sobre determinado universo de discurso.
