今天的企业正在积累庞大的概念模型库,如数据模型,组织结构图和最显着的业务流程模型。这些模型通常随着公司的发展而发展,因此通常术语多样且复杂。这种术语的多样性源于这样一个事实,即自然语言允许以各种各样的方式描述一个问题,特别是当涉及许多建模人员时。当概念模型受制于模型分析技术时,这种多样性可能成为一个陷阱,因为模型分析技术需要术语上可比较的模型元素。因此,必须通过强制执行命名约定来确保模型质量。本文介绍了一个原型,它的目的是解决所有相关的问题,术语标准化已经在建模阶段或事后的基础上现有的模型。通过提供一个自动化的列表,所有正确的短语命题,根据他输入的短语,建模者被引导通过标准化过程。在这种方法中,可以很容易地定义和执行命名约定。这导致了术语上明确的概念模型,更容易理解,并为进一步分析做好准备。
Today’s enterprises are accumulating huge repositories of conceptual models, such as data models, organisational charts and most notably business process models. Those models often grow heterogeneously with the company and are thus often terminologically divers and complex. This terminological diversity originates from the fact that natural language allows an issue to be described in a large variety of ways especially when many modellers are involved. This diversity can become a pitfall when conceptual models are subject to model analysis techniques, which require terminologically comparable model elements. Therefore, it is essential to ensure model quality by enforcing naming conventions. This paper introduces a prototype, which intends to resolve all associated issues of terminological standardisation already during the modelling phase or ex-post based on existing models. The modeller is guided through the standardization process by providing an automated list of all correct phrase propositions according to his entered phrase. In this approach, naming conventions can easily be defined and enforced. This leads to terminologically unambiguous conceptual models, which are easier to understand and ready for further analysis purposes.
