Data modeling patterns is an emerging field of research in the data modeling area. Its aims are to create a body of knowledge to help understand data modeling problems better and to create better data models. Current data modeling patterns are generally domain-specific patterns (only applicable in a specific domain, e.g. a business situation) and with an Entity Relationship Modeling (ERM) way of thinking. This paper discusses data modeling patterns using the expressive power of Fully Communication Oriented Information Modeling (FCO-IM), a Dutch Fact Oriented Modeling (FOM) method. We also consider more abstract data modeling patterns – the generic patterns – and describe a few basic generic data modeling patterns in brief as well as a generic pattern found in content versioning problems.
