ORM 2008

This is the 4 th ORM Workshop held in conjunction with the OTM conferences, with previous workshops held in Cyprus, France, and Portugal. The workshop welcomes submissions on all fact-orientated modeling approaches, including ORM, Cog. NIAM, FCO-IM, SBVR and OSM. This year we had approximately 30 original submissions, each of which had at least 3 reviews, leading to the selection of 15 papers. Thanks to all the submitters. Presenters are requested to make their slides available for posting to the ORM Foundation website. Each paper slot typically lasts 45 minutes. Please complete your presentation within 30 minutes allowing the rest of the session for Q&A.
