• T3E: Ontologies
  • The tutorial is centred on foundational ontologies and ontology-driven conceptual modelling (e.g., OntoUML, OWL).
• T1A: Design
  • The tutorial (re)designs a set of modelling primitives/guidelines grounded in an ontological theory, which is essentially language design work.
• T4B: Horizontal Transformation
  • A key part is mapping conceptual models to computational codification languages (e.g., OWL), i.e., cross-language conversion.
