Abstract: Conceptual modeling is the activity of creating models. Models that describe problems are independently from the technology and strategy used to solve the problem. In the past few decades, a large number of conceptual modeling methods and tools have emerged. Many theories such as ontology linguistics and cognitive science enhance the concept modeling theoretical basis. Ontology based conceptual modeling got full attention. The development of conceptual modeling, conceptual model language, ontology-based conceptual modeling and quality evaluation of the conceptual model have been studied.

Key words: conceptual modeling, CML, ontology, model transformation, quality evaluation
