ELLIE, A NEW DATA MODELLING TOOL. Last week I received a briefing on Ellie. This new and easy-to-use data modeling has some special features not normally found in #DataModeling tools. Many such tools are aimed at analysts with a technical background, this one is more aimed the business aspects of data modeling. It supports a business glossary in which business concepts can be defined. Also, it runs in the cloud allowing multiple analysts to work on the same model in conjunction. Models can be exported to tools such as @WhereScape to generate physical database or #DataVault models. And, it’s cheap. If you’re into data modeling, Ellie is definitely worth checking out: https://ellie.fi/ #Database #InformationModel #DatabaseDesign

Thank you Rick van der Lans for the good review of our Ellie. We are really glad of the amount of excitement is has generated among the data management community. I would like also to thank Alec Sharp for all the support and inspiration! Our goal has been to develop a business oriented data modelling tool that it easy to use and implement. In cloud - nothing to download, nothing to install. Ellie supports conceptual and logical modelling and it can be integrated to other tools to generate physical data models such as Data Vault. Dan L., I told you about Ellie the last time we met at dinner. Now we are glad to tell that we have built an xml export from Ellie to WhereScape and it works really well! Business oriented data modeling first and then Data Vault generation based on that in WhereScape.
If it's good enough for Alec...!

It's a shame it's not available for download. Really interested to try it. However, just from the picture, it does not seem like an improvement from OPM. In fact, OPM seems more structured, versatile and reasonable to use than this.

If you are interested in graphs, look at Gra.fo.
Merging conceptual and logical concerns into a simplified IEF tool is not to facilitate modelling ...
It looks more open than paradigm-dependent modeling tools (UML, ERD) . Yet, is it possible to make relation between relations? (the most common case - sorry to give a paradigm-specific example - is rdfs:subPropertyOf.) Nesting of classes, nice.
