Abstract

The Keystone Methodology uses Entity-Relationship modeling to determine an optimum object-oriented packaging structure, which will exhibit minimum coupling and inter-dependencies between elements of a system and therefore maximum reusability potential. Furthermore, the resulting organization of the data dimension permits extensive use of a limited range of generics to provide complete data manipulation through the use of relational operations. The form and disposition of concurrent elements of a system can also be determined directly from the E-R model. The modeling process is proven and the implementation of the resulting design is systematic.
