From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not to be confused with object–relational mapping.Example of an ORM2 diagramObject-role modeling (ORM) is used to model the semantics of a universe of discourse. ORM is often used for data modeling and software engineering.An object-role model uses graphical symbols that are based on first order predicate logic and set theory to enable the modeler to create an unambiguous definition of an arbitrary universe of discourse. Attribute free, the predicates of an ORM Model lend themselves to the analysis and design of graph database models in as much as ORM was originally conceived to benefit relational database design.

Living, Becoming, Process Philosophy: Systems Thinking in Time (ST-ON 2022-01-10) April 6, 2022 daviding 0 CommentsSystem thinking, coming from roots in mainstream Western philosophy, tends to orient towards (i) thinking in space,  before (ii) thinking in time.  Structure is an arrangement in space.  Process is an arrangement in time.  A critical systems perspective leads us to think about inclusion within boundaries.  Does this lead us to overlook boundaries in time?Living systems are a subtype of systems in general.  The capability for autonomous movement might lead us towards a philosophy of “becoming with” as “becoming alongside”.  This can lead us towards a challenging shift towards process philosophy.Participants in Systems Thinking Ontario session were invited to discuss, and potentially reframe their view of systems

Systems Thinking through Changes: An action learning guide | Canadian Digital Service | 2022-03-04 April 11, 2022 daviding 0 CommentsIn the 4th year of an espoused 10-year journey, the Systems Changes Learning Circle reached a major milestone.  With Code for Canada, the team conducted its first educational workshop based on the contextural action learning approach currently under review for publication.  The client was the Canadian Digital Service .The presentation outlining the basic ideas and guiding questions was scheduled for a quick 60 minutes. After lunch, the participants convened for 3 hours in three parallel breakout groups, discussions guided by templates provided in the workbook.
