A Derivation Procedure for Set-Comparison Constraints in Fact-Based Modeling

  • Conference paper
On the Move to Meaningful Internet Systems: OTM 2011 Workshops (OTM 2011)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 7046))

Abstract

In this paper we will address the conceptual schema design procedure (CSDP) in fact-based modeling. We will focus on the modeling procedure of ‘cook-book’ for deriving set-comparison constraints. We will give an algorithm that can be applied by an analyst in an analyst-user dialogue in which all setcomparison constraints can be derived as a result of the acceptance or rejection of real-life user examples by the domain expert.
