Quality of Conceptual Models in Model Driven Software Engineering

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Conceptual Modeling Perspectives

Abstract

Since the introduction of the ER-language in the late seventies, conceptual modelling has been an important area in information systems development. Conceptual modelling is widely used today, both on an analytical and a design-oriented level, e.g. for model-driven software engineering. The quality of conceptual models have also been investigated and discussed since the mid-nineties. In this paper we present a specialization of a general framework for assessing quality of models for being able to evaluate the quality of conceptual models as used in model-driven software engineering. This has resulted in a useful deepening of the generic framework on this specific kind of models, and in this way improved the practical applicability of the framework when applied to discussing the quality of conceptual models as used in model driven software engineering..
