Visualizing Formalisms With Orm Models

During the development of theoretical frameworks researchers often graphically represent formal textual notations as part of a developed theory. This may lead to enrichments and new insights regarding a theory. A possibility for graphical representation of formalisms is the utilization of modeling languages such as ORM. This paper deals with the technique of visualizing formalisms by using ORM models and shows the advantages of graphically representing a formal theoretical framework. An application of the approach that has already been successfully practised is elaborated. This application concerns a theoretical framework consisting of knowledge intensive task properties and shows how the approach to visualize formalisms with ORM can be materialized.
