Conceptual Schemas and Ontologies for Database Access: Myths and Challenges

.
Conceptual Modeling - ER 2007, (2008)

Abstract

First, I will argue that well-founded conceptual modelling and ontology design is required to support intelligent informationaccess. Then, I will show which are the technical consequences of such choices, and how the foundational and computationalproblems to be faced are non-trivial. The arguments are based on the use of classical logics and description logics as a formaltools for the framework, and I will make use of languages and examples taken from the Entity-Relationship arena.
