How can I use natural language in my modeling process to achieve high-quality information models?

The answer to your question is Fact-Oriented Modeling (FOM). This is a family of conceptual methods in which facts are modeled precisely as relationships with an arbitrary number of arguments. This type of modeling makes it easier to understand the model, because natural language is used to create the data model. That's what makes FOM fundamentally different from all other modeling methods. This approach sounds new and exciting. However, its basic features date back to the 1970s.
