A thorough introduction to conceptual modeling and its implications in the enterprise, written by experts.

Conceptual modeling is based on the view that certain relevant aspects of systems can be represented by objects, their attributes and relationships. This book begins by introducing a solid foundation for conceptual modeling based on logic and linguistics. Methodology is also presented in depth, through an examination of reusable design patterns and techniques for declarative rule elicitation and representation. Quality criteria, database design and schema integration are also investigated thoroughly. Finally, the book covers the use of conceptual modeling in enterprise engineering.



A complete introduction to conceptual modeling, written by a team of leading experts.

• A logic and linguistic-based approach that provides a solid theoretical foundation for learning.

• Introduces enterprise engineering, placing conceptual modeling in a larger, more practical context.

• Numerous exercises, examples and case studies are included, and self-study material is available on the Internet.
