Conceptual Modeling is a standard practice in Database and Information Systems research community. It has also been applied to Bioinformatics-related problems, representing models as Entity-Relationship diagrams or with the Unified Modeling Language. Conceptual models serve two main purposes: explaining complex domains such as the genome and its biology, and supporting the effective design of data management systems for biological and genomics data. Several examples are available in the literature for both human genomics and viral genomics. Conceptual models have been enriched with ontological information when additional semantics was needed.

Abstract

Conceptual Modeling is a standard practice in Database and Information Systems research community. It has also been applied to Bioinformatics-related problems, representing models as Entity-Relationship diagrams or with the Unified Modeling Language. Conceptual models serve two main purposes: explaining complex domains such as the genome and its biology, and supporting the effective design of data management systems for biological and genomics data. Several examples are available in the literature for both human genomics and viral genomics. Conceptual models have been enriched with ontological information when additional semantics was needed.
