While noodling about how to create a credible metamodel for a particular model, I started considering whether a dimensional model might be a better choice than an entity-relationship model. I thought that I would take this opportunity to capture links to relevant foundational papers:
- E.F. Codd, A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks
- Peter P. Chen, The Entity-Relationship Model -- Toward a Unified View of Data
- Ralph Kimball, A Dimensional Modeling Manifesto
