Representing Things and Properties in Conceptual Modeling: Understanding the Impact of Task Type

摘要: The representation of things and properties is a fundamental issue in conceptual modeling. proponents different modeling approaches, for example entity relationship object-role modeling, offer very advice about the distinction between their representation. We use ontological theory to provide guidelines how should be represented. Previous experimental work has provided evidence support ontologically sound representations However results also indicate that type task undertaken (for comprehension, problem solving, discrepancy checking, decomposition) may impact models. In this paper, research project proposed examine sorts tasks are best supported by distinguishing
