Abstract
Models are a mainstay of every scientific and engineering discipline. Models are typically more accessible to study than the systems. Models are instruments that are effectively functioning within a scenario. The effectiveness is based on an associated set of methods and satisfies requirements of usage of the model. A typical usage of a model is explanation, informed selection, and appropriation of an opportunity. This usage is declared through information and directions for usage or more specifically through an informative model in the case of a service model.

The words ‘conceptual’ and ‘conceptional’ are often considered to be synonyms. The word ‘conceptual’ is linked to concepts and conceptions. ‘Conceptual’ means that a thing - e.g. an instrument or artifact - is characterised by concepts or conceptions. The word ‘conceptional’ associates a thing as being or of the nature of a notion or concept. Conceptional modelling is modelling with associations to concepts. A conceptual model incorporates concepts into the model.
