| Abstract: | |
| Conceptual modeling of a subject domain, which produces its conceptual model, is an important
stage in designing information systems. In recent years, much attention in the development of such systems
has been given to reusing information resources and to providing access to them at the semantic level. Methods and technologies of ontological modeling have lately been under intensive development. In this paper,
problems and preconditions of conceptual modeling of the subject domain in database technologies and
information systems are discussed. Various approaches to conceptual modeling, conceptual modeling languages, and the respective tools are considered, various interpretations of the role of the conceptual model of
the subject domain are discussed, and the current state of conceptual modeling tools produced by software
industry is assessed. The relationships between the conceptual schemas of the subject domain and ontologies
are analyzed and their similarities and differences are described. Terminological issues and the directions of
research in the field of conceptual and ontological modeling are considered. An extensive list of references is
given. |
