Yeh, IATA don't have a normalised data model, so you're badly out of luck there. There are some reasonable books on Data Modelling from Wiley you can get with fair models in, plus Kimball has a simplified data model in his Toolkit book. I'd make sure you get your requirements straight, otherwise the data model will grow and grow as each new strange-but-true wierdness emerges. Best Regards, Simon Riggs
