Scientific Work and Contributions

Conceptual Modeling

Long standing foundational Contributions to Conceptual modeling theory [1] and Science of Conceptual Modeling [2] of Prof. Dr. rar. nat. habil. Bernhard Thalheim is at many levels and abstractions such as Higher Order Extended ER model [3] and chapter 4 of the handbook of Conceptual Modeling [4]. Thalheim did in fact more than anyone for formalization and theoretically underpinning of conceptual modeling, and to introduce it to the academic literature.
The Higher Order Extended Entity-Relationship Model (HERM) serves as the foundation of many systems analysis and design methodologies, computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools, and repository systems. The HERM Model is the basis for wide number of commercial projects in Germany and Europe, and is commonly cited as the definite reference for Foundations of Database Management Systems and Entity-Relationship Modeling.
Thalheim's contributions in the HREM is deep-rooted in the A. P. G. Brown's [5] invention of the Entity-Relationship Model concept, and the basic ideas appear in earlier papers especially by practitioners, such as that by Peter Chen [6].
The ER Model was adopted as the meta model ANSI Standard in Information Resource Directory System (IRDS), and the ER approach has been ranked at the top methodology for database design and one of the top methodologies in systems development by several surveys of high profile companies.
