    Which is the dominant modeling language/notation? Is one more effective than the other and which are most often used in a real world setting? I ask because I have studied several but each claims to be the most robust. My personal belief is that ORM 2 is the most complete but I am still yet a student of the game.

    Finally, which should I invest most of my time in?

    My money is with Entity/Relationship - from the data modeling stand point nothing beats it. Just my opinion.
