ConceptBase Managing Conceptual Models about Information Systems

  • Chapter
Handbook on Architectures of Information Systems

Part of the book series: International Handbooks on Information Systems ((INFOSYS))

Abstract

ConceptBase is a meta data management system intended to support the cooperative development and evolution of information systems with multiple interacting formalisms. It supports a simple logic-based core language, O-Telos, which integrates deductive and object-oriented features in order to support the syntactical, graphical, and semantic customization of modeling languages as well as analysis in multi-language modeling environments.
