Abstract

With decades of contributions and applications, conceptual modeling is very well-recognized in information systems engineering. However, the importance and relevance of conceptual modeling is less well understood in other disciplines. This paper, through an analysis of existing research and expert opinions, proposes a reference framework for conceptual modeling to help researchers and practitioners position their work in the field, facilitate discussion among researchers in the field, and help researchers and practitioners in other fields understand what the field of conceptual modeling has to offer as well as contribute to its continued, extended influence in multiple domains.

Vorheriges Kapitel Conceptual Modeling on Tencent’s Distributed Database Systems

Nächstes Kapitel Empirical Comparison of Model Consistency Between Ontology-Driven Conceptual Modeling and Traditional Conceptual Modeling

Because we seek to give a broad characterization of the field of conceptual modeling, we cite an unusually large and diverse number of papers. Even so, we can only cite a fraction of the high quality related work done by influential researchers.

These questions were: Who are the developers of conceptual models? Who are the users of conceptual models? What is represented in a conceptual model? and What is the purpose of a conceptual model?.
