From the reviews: "The book focuses on business concept mapping, with illustrated examples of business concept mapping that seem to suggest that business concept mapping is best suited as a front-end information modeling tool for data warehouse development. ... The book is aimed at business and IT professionals, who would find business concept mapping cleaner and easier than UML object diagrams." (Don Chand, Computing Reviews, June, 2013)
