Abstract

Requirements modeling and specification is a knowledge intensive task, so influence of pioneering work on knowledge representation like the KL-ONE language [BS85] and related approaches using the concepts of semantic networks and frame-based systems [BL85] started relatively early. Especially the concepts of objects, systematized by abstraction principles of

  • classification,

  • specialization and

  • aggregation

turned out to be very suitable for the specification of large Information Systems [Gre84]. This approach was further enhanced by adding logical assertions to express the intended meaning of the objects. This lead to the Conceptual Modelling Language CML [Sta86] and to its enhanced version System Modelling Language SML described in this chapter.
