  …written by Davids. 1. "Object Thinking" by David West (http://davewest.us/product/object-thinking/) 2. "Introduction to Computing" by David Evans (free PDF available: https://computingbook.org/) 3. "Data Model Patterns: Conventions of Thought" by David Hay (https://www.amazon.com/Data-Model-Patterns-David-Hay/dp/0932...). He also gives a great talk about this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLFXewSpltw

  I think what's missing is something like "Data Model Patterns: A Metadata Map" by David C. Hay It's like C. Alexander's "Pattern Language" but for data models. > ...I was modeling the structure— the language —of a company, not just the structure of a database.…

  …Silverston, and despite being about 20 years old they remain industry best practices. All sorts of data model design patterns - insurance, ecommerce, data warehouses, party, finance, etc. David Hay's "Data Model Patterns" is also excellent, although less concrete.

  I like this talk: "Domain Modeling Made Functional" by Scott Wlaschin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up7LcbGZFuo He's working in F# but the concepts map. There's a fascinating book "Data Model Patterns: A Metadata Map" by David C. Hay that's pretty much a Pattern Language or catalog for data models. You can just implement the subset of Hay's patterns that make sense for your application.

  Take something like the design discipline Scott Wlaschin describes in this talk "Domain Modeling Made Functional"[1]. Combine it with a catalog of standard models like David Hay's "Data Model Patterns: A Metadata Map"[2] which is like a Pattern Language for data models combined with a catalog covering most (enterprise) needs. Specify the binary formats with Erlang "bit syntax"[3]. Eh? [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up7LcbGZFuo…

  …question is how to drive convergence? How to alleviate https://xkcd.com/927/ ? (The "Standards" comic.) Who shall forge the "one true ring to bind them"? - - - - Also, I think Data Model catalogs (like "Data Model Patterns: A Metadata Map" by David C. Hay) should be part of the answer. Instead of rolling your own data models you should be able to just pull models from a standard catalog. - - - - In sum, if we're lucky,…

  …promises. As I mentioned above, I'm working on Joy-in-Prolog, and I'm right at the point where I'm thinking about how to represent data (as in DBs) using Category Theory along with the standard meta-data in "Data Model Patterns: A Metadata Map" by David C. Hay.

  Data Model Patterns looks very interesting. I just ordered a copy. What was your favorite takeaway from the book?
