“…Most weight is accumulated by Topic 1 with the highest-weighted words model and conceptual, system, design, and information. This is followed by Topic 2 in the context of schemas and databases, Topic 3 in the context of processes and services, and Topic 4 in the context of goals and requirements 8 . The remaining topics cover additional themes typically considered for the ER conference, probably with the exception of Topic 7 that leaves room for interpretation.…”

“…However, from the viewpoint of other disciplines, practitioners and newcomers it is often not so obvious what conceptual modeling stands for, which topics are investigated and where according research takes place, cf. [8]. And even for a scientific community itself it is from times to times beneficial to reflect on its past achievements, on the evolution of topics and the identification of visions and future directions [21].…”

Research in conceptual modeling is today undertaken in a large number of fields. We describe the results from a bibliometric analysis of major outlets for conceptual modeling research for investigating the evolution of research topics. As a basis for the study we used the openly accessible DBLP dataset which we enriched with data from related publisher's websites and databases. Besides a descriptive analysis of the publication data, we conducted a content-based analysis of more than 3.200 papers using Latent Dirichlet Allocation. This permits to gain insights into the past trends in conceptual modeling research and derive future prospects for the community.

We understand this paper as a contribution to the “anatomy” of conceptual models. We propose a signature of conceptual models for their characterization, which allows a clear distinction from other types of models. The motivation for this work arose from the observation that conceptual models are widely discussed in science and practice, especially in computer science, but that their potential is far from being exploited. We combine our proposal of a more transparent explanation of the nature of conceptual models with an approach that classifies conceptual models as a link between the dimension of linguistic terms and the encyclopedic dimension of notions. As a paradigm we use the triptych, whose central tableau represents the model dimension. The effectiveness of this explanatory approach is illustrated by a number of examples. We derive a number of open research questions that should be answered to complete the anatomy of conceptual models.

“…Ethereum, like all blockchains, is basically a particular kind of distributed database [7,8] and, as such, it necessarily has a conceptual schema. The important role of the explicit definition of that schema not only in the development of database and of information systems, but also in their understanding, has been recognized since long ago [9][10][11].…”

The Conceptual Schema of Ethereum

There is an abundant literature on Ethereum, but as far as we know what is missing is its explicit conceptual schema. We present here the conceptual schema of Ethereum in UML. The schema should be useful to those that want to understand Ethereum and to those that develop the schema of Ethereum-based DApps. We present a few population constraints, and show that they suffice for the specification at the conceptual level of what is understood by immutability of a blockchain. We also show that the well-known reification construct and an initial constraint suffice to specify at the conceptual level that the Ethereum blockchain stores the full state history.
