ActiveFacts::Compositions

Fact-based schemas are always in highly normalised or elementary form. Most other schemas are composite (object-oriented, relational, warehousing, analytical, messaging, APIs, etc).

A Composition is a representation of the two-way mapping between an elementary schema and the composite schemas.

This gem provides:

• an API for compositions,
• several compositors which create Compositions - O-O, Relational and Data Vault and
• some generators which emit various kinds of output (Ruby, SQL) etc, for composed schemas.

This gem builds on the Fact Modeling Metamodel and languages of ActiveFacts.
