User manual

The user manual is comprehensive; it describes all the aspects of FIDM™ in detail. The techniques of modelling, the elements of FIDM™ with their financial-economic background and all the relationships between the different areas of FIDM™ are described in two volumes, totaling about 1200 pages of text. All classes, attributes and relationships are defined in detail; their use is explained by means of different situations. The description is supplemented by a large number of graphs and by specific examples.

Data dictionary

The data dictionary contains all the definitions of the classes, the attributes, the relationships and the domains, with their respective enumeration values. The data catalogue is available as a printed document (879 pages) and in electronic form. The electronic version, based on HTML-documents, can be used with any Internet-browser. It allows a quick navigation through the definitions of the model.

UML diagram

FIDM™ is shown in full graphically in an UML diagram. All classes and their relationships are thus visible at a glance. The user manual also contains approximately 200 diagrams, which illustrate the relationships between individual groups of classes.
