Abstract:
|
In order to develop a harmonised and efficient IT system, such as a
database, it is important to be familiar with the underlying concept
model (concept systems) for the relevant domain which the IT system
should be designed to accommodate, as this forms the necessary firm
foundation for designing the conceptual data model. Although there is
no one-to-one correlation between concept and characteristic features
in the concept model and classes and attributes in the conceptual data
model, there are many similarities between concept modelling and
conceptual data modelling, and by closely examining the relationship
between the two models, we have strived to construct an algorithm for
creating conceptual data models in Unified Modelling Language
(UML) on the basis of concept models that adhere to the traditional
principles and methods of terminology work. |
