Summary: Multi-Page Models

Initial Comment:
If it fits with the objectives of ORM2 and NORMA, 
multi-page models offer some advantages.  If each page 
is centered on an important Object Type, it's easier 
to impart some granularity, and even hierarchical 
structure to the model overall.  It also serves to 
keep large models from getting visually confusing.  
This way, the modeler can focus on a given major axis 
of the U. of D.  That, in turn, helps envolve 
knowledge workers primaraly concerned with that 
particular area of interest, without the distraction 
of facts not relevent to thier experince.

We already have basic support for this. Along the bottom 
of the diagram window, there should be a rudimentary tab 
strip. You should see "ORM" in red letters followed by the 
name of the diagram (which will usually be the same as the 
file name that you entered when first creating the file). 
If you right click in this area, you should be able to 
select "New View" to have a new diagram created.
Existing Fact Types and Object Types can be dropped on the 
new diagram from the ORM Model Browser. The current 
incarnation of the ORM Model Browser is only temporary, 
and has limited functionality. A much better ORM Model 
Browser is currently under development.
