    Transforming Enterprise Models to Linked Data via Semantic Annotations
    (Modellierung 2018, 2018) Pittl, Benedikt; Fill, Hans-Georg
    The use of conceptual models in enterprises is today a well-known fact. This includes many zdifferent types of models ranging from process models, organizational models, and infrastructure models to various types used in software engineering and technical systems development. Although these models are largely specified in a formal or at least semi-formal way, the knowledge contained in them is often only accessible via manual inspection. The primary reason for this shortcoming is the use of different formats for expressing models and the lack of machine-processable semantic specifications of the model content. In this paper we present a flexible approach for transforming information from such enterprise models to RDF. Thereby, we use a model weaving technique to annotate conceptual models with concepts from ontologies. For assessing its technical feasibility, the approach has been implemented on the SeMFIS platform and applied to a use case in the area of business process management.

    The Triptych Paradigm Revisited
    (Modellierung 2024, 2024) C. Mayr, Heinrich; Thalheim, Bernhard
    Modeling is crucial to most disciplines. It has been widely researched, taught, and practiced for many years. One should think that with all the intelligent works, published in thousands of papers, hardly any fundamental question remains open.However, even a simple sounding question like 'When is a model a conceptual one?' has no universally valid or at least broadly accepted answer. Given the many modeling languages and tools offered as ``conceptual'', such question may seem quixotic and academic. However, a scientist should be concerned if he or she researches and teaches in the field of modeling but cannot give an incontrovertible answer. We report here extensions of the work that should facilitate answering basic questions of this kind. It is based on a taxonomy of the characteristics of (conceptual) models and the ``triptych paradigm'' assuming that conceptual modeling consists of a central model part, the instrumentation by a language, and the inherited world semantics within the given application. This leads to the triptych dimensions of models, their linguistic representation, and the meaning and semantic grounding of each intensional model element. It also allows a systematic view of the hierarchy-creating relationships occurring in each dimension.
