Alistair:

The ERD was created using EERD (i.e., extended entity-relationship diagram) 
modeling in Visio. In approaching the task initially, I looked around at 
various 
modeling techniques and chose EERD, as the extended set gave me options I 
needed to represent and it was closest to the ERD diagrams used in FRBR, 
etc. As to why Visio? The answer's simple: It's the tool I know and I found a 
cool template for EERD's that made it quick and easy.

If I've missed the question here and the answer you're looking for is what 
methodology did I use in creating it, what were my sources, etc. Let me 
know. I kept a full record of how it was developed and how it's being updated. 
I can provide a quick bulletted list of the methodolgy used to date.

Cheers,
Nannette
