Concept Modelling
• A concept model is used to organize the business vocabulary needed to consistently and thoroughly communicate the knowledge of a domain
• Concept models put a premium on high-quality, design-independent definitions that are free of data or implementation biases
• A concept model identifies the correct choice of terms to use in communications, including all business analysis information

Concept Modelling
Concept models can be effective where:
• The enterprise seeks to organize, retain, build-on, manage, and communicate core knowledge
• The initiative needs to capture large numbers of business rules
• There is resistance from stakeholders about the perceived technical nature of data models, class diagrams, or data element nomenclature and definition

Elements: Noun Concepts
• The most basic concepts in a concept model are the noun concepts of the domain, which are simply ‘givens’ for the space

Elements: Verb Concepts
• Verb concepts provide basic structural connections between noun concepts
• These verb concepts are given standard wordings, so they can be referenced unambiguously
• Sometimes verb concepts are derived, inferred, or computed by definitional rules
• This is how new knowledge or information is built up from more basic facts.

Elements: Other Connections
• Concept models must support rich meaning (semantics), other types of standard connections are used besides verb concepts.
These include but are not limited to:
• Categorizations
• Classifications
• Partitive (whole-part) connections
• Roles

Strengths
• Provide a business-friendly way to communicate with stakeholders about precise meanings and subtle distinctions
• Is independent of data design biases and the often limited business vocabulary
• Proves highly useful for white-collar, knowledge-rich, decision-laden business processes
• Helps ensure that large numbers of business rules and complex decision tables are free of ambiguity and fit together cohesively

Limitations
• May set expectations too high about how much integration based on business semantics can be achieved on relatively short notice
• Requires a specialized skill set based on the ability to think abstractly and non-procedurally about know-how and knowledge
• The knowledge-and-rule focus may be foreign to stakeholders
• Requires tooling to actively support real-time use of standard business terminology in writing business rules, requirements, and other forms of business communication
