Guidelines for Modelling

The best advice/guidelines that I usually lay down for a modelling process especially a client facing data model is as follows :

•  Model should be iterative
•  Model should be dynamic
•  It should be economical in data
•  It should be economical in its views
•  Concepts should be clear and recognized
•  Model structure should be clear and recognized
•  Models should be consistent to previously available models ie. -  if they exist
•  Try and make models as correct and complete as required
•  The different concerns/viewpoints regarding the components should be treated orthogonally rather than in a scattered manner.
