Insufficiency of Data Models

Malcolm Chisolm has 3 interesting articles on why data modeling alone is not sufficient for the design of databases.

They are:

"Data Models are Not Database Design" in October 2007 issue of DM Review.

"MetaThoughts:The Logical/Physical Challenge in Data Management"

"Is Data Modeling Sufficient for Database Design?"

I think they are worth reading. I specially enjoyed the first one since I had personal experience with reference data and could relate to the validity of his assertions.
