It is important to articulate the objectives and underlying assumptions behind a growing body of exper-imental research in conceptual modeling. We provide four guidelines for developing materials for experi-ments that evaluate conceptual modeling techniques, under the assumption that a primary purpose ofconceptual modeling is to facilitate communication between analysts and users in validating domain knowl-edge during systems development. These guidelines assist in developing experimental materials that supportmeaningful tests of domain semantics. We present empirical evidence indicating the value of two of theguidelines. We also evaluate selected recent experiments on conceptual modeling with respect to theguidelines.Read the full paper here: https://reader.elsevier.com/reader/sd/pii/S0169023X04002344?token=246AD5B531D87767ACD6C47096EF33B0C1D0C89632DF75E49BADEFF38AAFEC53B0DE040DB1C0A20D7BE71CB601D1C7E2
