Conceptual Data Modelling: an empirical study of expert and novice data modellers
This study explores the differences between conceptual data models designed by expert and novice data modelling practitioners. The data models are evaluated using a number of quality factors synthesised from previous empirical studies and frameworks for quality in conceptual modelling. This study extends previous studies by using practitioners as participants and using a number of different qua...
متن کاملData envelopment analysis in service quality evaluation: an empirical study
Service quality is often conceptualized as the comparison between service expectations and the actual performance perceptions. It enhances customer satisfaction, decreases customer defection, and promotes customer loyalty. Substantial literature has examined the concept of service quality, its dimensions, and measurement methods. We introduce the perceived service quality index (PSQI) as a sing...
متن کاملModel development in discrete-event simulation and system dynamics: An empirical study of expert modellers
An empirical study comparing the model development process followed by experts in DiscreteEvent Simulation (DES) and System Dynamics (SD) modelling is undertaken. Verbal Protocol Analysis (VPA) is used to study the modelling process followed by ten expert modellers (5 SD and 5 DES). Participants are asked to build simulation models based on a case study and to think aloud while modelling. The g...
متن کاملConceptual data modelling in an archaeological GIS
Recent discussion of archaeological GIS method and theory has centred around a debate concerning the use of the technology. This paper argues that key problems in this debate can be overcome by looking at how data are defined and structured with regards to the overall project. It specifically deals with two points. First, that an appropriate theoretical framework needs to be developed and that ...
متن کاملTerminological concept modelling and conceptual data modelling
Ontologies are useful for many purposes. The use of an ontology is, for example, crucial for writing consistent definitions of concepts within a specific domain. In this paper, we will argue that the principles of rigorous terminology work are useful for building consistent ontologies. In many cases, developers of IT systems encounter severe problems, because they neglect the necessity of devel...
