Phenomenological Ontology Guided Conceptual Modeling for Enterprise Information Systems

摘要

In model driven Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) conceptual ER models are fundamental. We demonstrate how a phenomenological modeling ontology for conceptual models assists in creating meaningful, auto generated EIS. Application of the phenomenological ontology on conceptual modeling is shown in a graphical, easy-to-use CASE tool, CoreWEB, which support both editing of models and generating user interfaces for consistent manipulation of instance data. A visual and easy-to-grasp demonstration of conceptual modeling with live generation of EIS should be a welcome holistic complement to specialized, focused, in-depth presentations. Audience at all levels find food for thought and inspiration to continue to explore conceptual modeling in general and phenomena oriented approaches with systems generation in particular.
