Information Modeling
I'm very glad I have found this book, and a pity I didn't noticed it any earlier (it's from 2004). Issues that I always had about interoperability and semantics now at least have been confirmed. The book itself provides for a good foundation in this matter and I'm confident the overall conceptual framework holds as model to think and work from still. Regarding its contents I really cannot say much more that already has been addressed by Mohamed Taher in his review about this book in Information Resource Management Journal, 20(1), 81-84, January-March 2007 ().
