| Abstract: | |
| Problems and premises for conceptual modeling of applications domains in the database technology are
discussed. Principles of the ANSI/X3/SPARC database system multilevel architecture (“three schema
technology”), that determined the formation of database design methodology the necessary initial phase of
which constitutes the conceptual modeling of application domain and synthesis of the database conceptual
schema explicitly represented and supported by the DBMS facilities. The well known approaches to
conceptual modeling in database technology and based on them language facilities that are called the
conceptual data models are discussed, different interpretations of database conceptual schema roles are
discussed, the state of instruments for conceptual modeling developed by the software and database
industries is evaluated. Correlation between database conceptual schemas and ontologies is analyzed, their
similarities and differences are characterized. Some terminological difficulties as well as directions of
research in the area of conceptual modeling are considered. Extensive literature is provided. |
