Abstract
For a (conceptual) model to be communicated to others, it is necessary to represent it in some way. In much of software engineering and conceptual modelling, such a representation is through the application of a graphically based modelling language (ML)—a language appropriate for each of the three domains shown in Fig. 1.10. Such an artificial language has many of the attributes of a natural language in terms of possessing both syntax and semantics.
