Abstract:
'Conceptual Modeling and the Lexicon' investigates the linguistic aspects of conceptual
modeling, concentrating on the terminology part. The author combines theoretical ideas and
empirical facts from various scientific fields, such as cognitive psychology, computer
science, lexicography, psycholinguistics, software engineering, phi-losophy, and linguistics,
to develop a central Lexicon which should improve mutual communication between all the
people who work on a new information system. A preliminary design of a Lexicon Manage-ment System and some actual implementations complete the work.
