Incorporating ontology-based semantics into conceptual modelling

作者：

Highlights：

• We refine modelling formalisms to make them more expressive.

• We argue that conceptual modelling methodologies are enriched by inclusion of the domain semantics.

• We investigate the incorporation of ontologies into three conceptual modelling methodologies.

• We propose an extended conceptual framework for modelling ontologies.

• We provide a transformation algorithm to map ontological constructs into relational schemata.
