I have been looking at data models for the ISO STEP/PDES data exchange
standards. Conventional structural models are produced using NIAM
(Nijssen Information Analysis Method) and IDEF1X. Activity models are
produced using IDEF0. Does anyone know of any references relating to the
IDEF modelling methods? Is anyone actually using them ?

Regards

Brian
