The FIBO in ER/Studio

Metadata Matters, George McGeachie released an Open-Source version of FIB-DM for the E/R Studio data modeling tool, which is way beyond the standard import. The data model perfectly represents the original PowerDesigner conceptual data model. E/R Studio users can save time and get a better starting point using the Metadata Matters model instead of importing independently. If you had difficulties migrating the model, download the E/R Studio version!

George is a recognized expert—he wrote the book on PowerDesigner. I recommend his training, consulting, and tooling extensions.
