Evaluating quality of ontology-driven conceptual models abstractions
The complexity of an (ontology-driven) conceptual model highly correlates with the complexity of the domain and software for which it is designed. With that in mind, an algorithm for producing ontology-driven conceptual model abstractions was previously proposed. In this paper, we empirically evaluate the quality of the abstractions produced by it. First, we have implemented and tested the last version of the algorithm over a FAIR catalog of models represented in the ontology-driven conceptual modeling language OntoUML. Second, we performed three user studies to evaluate the usefulness of the resulting abstractions as perceived by modelers. This paper reports on the findings of these experiments and reflects on how they can be exploited to improve the existing algorithm.
期刊介绍:
Data & Knowledge Engineering (DKE) stimulates the exchange of ideas and interaction between these two related fields of interest. DKE reaches a world-wide audience of researchers, designers, managers and users. The major aim of the journal is to identify, investigate and analyze the underlying principles in the design and effective use of these systems.
