OT: OpenDatabase Model ?

Doing a bit of database work for several friends (golf clubs and so on) 
I was very keen to start using a sort of "standard" and not least open 
database model with predefined tables.
Up to now I have been writing and defining the tables by hand but I can 
see an advantage in using a "standard".

The ODBM group that was offering this was found at 
http://www.opendatabasemodel.com - but the past long time it seems like 
it is dead.
Anyone know of any other projects similar to this?

Any suggestions that may help is welcome.

Best regards
