The FIBO/FIB-DM Navigator video explains the presentation and has live demos of the tool in MS Excel and PowerDesigner.
Data architects, business users, and ontologists use the tool to analyse hierarchies and connections in the model. It accelerates the scoping of project models from the industry standard.
In data modeler lingo, the term “island” refers to an entity with no relationships to the rest of the model. While the FIBO and hence FIB-DM are integrated and consistent designs (without islands), finding paths between two entities via relationships and Associative Entities remains a major challenge, even for FIBO experts.
