Quality in conceptual modeling: Five examples of the state of the art
H. James Nelson, Geert Poels, Marcela Genero Bocco, Mario Piattini Velthuis
The importance of conceptual models that work to define the field and advance the discipline is described. A quality framework for conceptual model that defines quality in relationship to conceptual modeling is shown. A set-theoretic approach to defining the dimensions of conceptual model quality renewed interest in the field of conceptual model quality. Articles that describe all the elements in the framework include: 'Theoretical and Practical Issues in Evaluating the Quality of Conceptual Models: Current State and Future Directions', 'Improving the Quality of Conceptual Modeling Using Cognitive Mapping Techniques, and ' A Unified Modelling Language Without Referential Redundancy'.
