The design of an information system (IS) has many consequences for the work of its users. We describe a...
Verification of conceptual models based on linguistic knowledge
As conceptual models reflect people's perception of real-world phenomena, they are closely tied to the way people describe and...

When conceptual model meets grammar: A dual approach to XMLdata modeling
In this paper we introduce a novel approach to conceptual modeling for XML schemas. Com-pared to other approaches, it...
Ontological anti-patterns: empirically uncovered error-pronestructures in ontology-driven conceptual models
The construction of large-scale reference conceptual models is a complex engineering activity. Todevelop high-quality models, a modeler must have...
The measurement of perceived ontological deficiencies of conceptualmodeling grammars
Over recent years, many scholars have studied the conceptual modeling of information sys-tems based on a theory of ontological...
Modeling events as entities in object-orientedconceptual modeling languages
Most current conceptual modeling languages and methods do not model events as entities. We arguethat, at least in object-oriented...
Design and implementation of ETL processes using BPMN and relational algebra
Extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) processes are used to extract data from internaland external sources of an organization, transform...
A method for the definition of integrity constraints inobject-oriented conceptual modeling languages
We propose a new method that eases the definition of integrity constraints in object-oriented conceptual modeling lan-guages. The essence...
