From my point of view, some things seem to be missing though, which wasn't unexpected given the preliminary/working state of the document. a) There seems to be a link between part and document missing. Documents are completely described, but never referenced. b) Symbol: according to the picture, it should contain a SymbolName, but according to the Text it's supposed to contain a Symbol filename. This seems to be a slight inconsistency, i myself would maybe include both a filename and a textual name for display which could also be a tad more verbose. Example: Filename: 7400-1.sym SymbolName: 7400, Quad NAND After a closer look, nearly the same goes for footprints: Graphics call for a unique name, text calls for a path. c) What i'm missing is models. That could very well be grouped with documents, entries being something like: ModelID Category (Spice, VHDL, VHDL-AMS, Verilog, Verilog-AMS etc.) Description (Textual, more verbose) SourceURL FileLocation (path) Given my lack of knowledge of Database design, i would appreciate some graphical representation of the relations between all those entries, as i'm not quite sure how one entry belongs to another. I tried to draw that up as i understand it, but got utterly lost in the relationship between part, class, component and device. Greets, Florian
