Materialization and Its Metaclass Implementation
Materialization is a powerful and ubiquitous abstraction pattern for conceptual modeling that relates a class of categories (e.g., models...
Artifact-Based Workflows for Supporting Simulation Studies
Valid models are central for credible simulation studies. If those models do not exist, they need to be developed....
Evaluating Wiki Collaborative Features in Ontology Authoring
It is nowadays well-established that the construction of quality domain ontologies benefits from the involvement in the modelling process...
Development of a Software Engineering Ontology for Multisite Software Development
This paper aims to present an ontology model of software engineering to represent its knowledge. The fundamental knowledge relating...
One-to-one Dependencies in Database Design
The types of dependencies between objects in some reality determine to a large extent the structure of its database...
Design of an Integrated Information Retrieval/Database Management System
To increase the semantics available in a database system it is useful to integrate it with the well-understood models,...
A Framework for Product Data
Improved support for engineering using information technology involves the integraticln of existing, evolving and future product data, and software...
The Composite Data Model: A Unified Approach for Combining and Querying Multiple Data Models
In this paper, we combine the characteristics of three fundamental data models in order to represent their semantics in...
SEAM: A state-entity-activity-model for a well-defined workflow development methodology
Current conceptual workflow models use either informally defined conceptual models or several formally defined conceptual models that capture different...
A methodology for learning across application domains for database design systems
Although database design tools have been developed that attempt to automate (or semiautomate) the design process, these tools do...
