A Conceptual Modeling Approach To Improve Human Genome Understanding
نویسندگان
چکیده
Information Systems cannot be designed nor programmed without prior elicitation of the knowledge they need to know. Representing this knowledge in an explicit form is the main application of a Conceptual Model. By allowing for a minor paradigm shift, one can imagine the human body as an Information System. Highly complex and built on biological molecules, rather than man-made hardware, but an Information System nonetheless. It is this paradigm shift that allows for exciting possibilities. Because, just like acquiring the source-code of a man-made system allows for post-production modifications and easy software maintenance, the same could very well apply to the human body. Essentially, debug life itself. This said, acquiring the source-code to the human Information System begins with the first step in any Information System development; creation of a comprehensive, correct Conceptual Model of the human genome and it is exactly this what this chapter aims for.
