Philosophical Foundations of Conceptual Modelling
University of Toronto, Canada
We review and analyze four theses/answers to the most fundamental question for research on Conceptual Modelling: What is a conceptual model?
For each thesis we offer evidence that it is credible and consider some of the research questions it entails. Our study draws ideas from Philosophy, Cognitive Science, Engineering and the Social Sciences, as well as several areas within Computer Science, including Databases, Software Engineering (SE), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Information Systems Engineering (ISE).
