The S
3、ecretariat for X3 is held by the Information Technology industry Council (ITI), 1250 Eye Street, NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20005. As a by-product of the standards development process and the resources of knowledge devoted to it, X3 from time to time produces Technical Reports. Such Technical Rep
4、orts are not standards, nor are they intended to be used as such. X3 Technical Reports are produced in some cases to disseminate the technical and logical con- cepts reflected in standards already published or under development. In other cases, they derive from studies in areas where it is found pre
5、mature to develop a standard due to a still-changing technology, or inappropriate to develop a rigorous standard due to the existence of a number of viable options, the choice of which depends on the user s particular requirements. These Technical Reports, thus, provide guidelines, the use of which
6、can result in greater consistency and coherence of information processing systems. When the draft Technical Report is completed, the Technical Committee approval process is the same as for a draft standard. Processing by X3 is also similar to that for a draft standard.

9、rom IHS -,-,- IRDS Conceptual Schema Part 1: Conceptual Schema for IRDS Abstract The purpose of this technical report is to present an IRDS (Information Resources Dictionary System) conceptu- al schema framework that supports the representation, integration, and translation of heterogeneous represen
10、ta- tion languages, schemes, or paradigms including national and international standards. The IRDS conceptual schema framework is based on logic and semantics and thus provides the formalism necessary to represent, integrate, or translate the various models of enterprise information resources. The c
11、onceptual schema frame- work uses a subsumptive integration approach and supports enterprise integration, repository technology, IRDS standards, IRDS requirements, and conceptual language requirements. Part 7: Conceptual Schema for /RDS presents IRDS conceptual schema topics and foundational materia
12、l and Part 2: Modeling Language Analysis presents the results of the modeling language analysis.

23、Dictionary Systems (BIDS), X3H4, has for many years been developing and correlating standards on IRDSs. The information used in this Technical Report has been gathered from many sources, including the standards and technical reports of ANSI and International Standards Organization (ISO). This techni
24、cal report was prepared by X3H4.6 IRDS Conceptual Schema, a task group in theX3 accredited standarads technical committee X3H4 IRDS. This technical report consists of the following two parts under the general title IRDS ConceptualSchema: - hwt 1: Conceptual Schema for IRDS - hrt 2: Modeling L8nguage
25、 Anaiysis This report presents an IRDS conceptual schema framework for the representation, integration, and translation of various modeling languages. Part I covers the introduction, background material, definitions, references, requirements, the conceptual schema architecture, and conceptual schema
26、 of the IRDS. The annex material includes the logical foundation, conceptual graph formalism, IRDS conceptual schema constructs, example UoD, glossary, references, and selected bibliography. Part 2 covers modeling language analysis and includes the analysis resufts of nine modeling languages. At the

Deere - describes conceptual schemas and the role they play in IRDS for purposes of representing, integrating and inter
32、acting among models developed across the breadth of the enterprise; t - describes an approach to unification or subsumption; - and documents the resufts of analyses conducted of selected modeling languages, modeling paradigms, databaselanguages and other forms of representation. 1.1 Purpose and scop
33、e 1.1.1 Pufpom An Information Resource Dictionary System (IFIDS) provides users with the capability of defining, maintaining and presenting a complete enterprise model, including both its business environment (i.e., its business f unctions, information, procedures, etc.) and the information resource
34、s used to support the business environment. The enterprise model stored in an IRDS encompasses the strategic, tactical and operational levels of an organization. An IRDS represents purely abstract or conceptual models of the enterprise; models that describe how the processes, data, and other items i
35、n the enterprise are implemented or supported by computer systems or other information resources; and descriptions of the form in which various users (whether human users or other information systems) interact with information systems to acquire data or present data. In other words, an IRDS represen
36、ts enterprise information using the ANSI/IS0 three-schema database architecture consisting of a Conceptual Schema (CS), an Internal Schema and an External Schema. Users construct an enterprise model not as one single, monolithic model, but as a series of submodels describing particular aspects or do
37、mains of the enterprise environment and its supporting information resources. The models are built using a variety of representation Languages, schemes or paradigms, often with markedly different fundamental concepts, constructs or primitives. Enterprise models in the broad sense may take such dispa
38、rate forms as data models, process models, information models, database models, CASE models, computer programs, database schemas, semantic networks, or natural language sentences. The models may be produced and stored using a variety of media including paper, CAD renderings or other computer graphic
39、 forms, digital text files such as word processing files, or computer databases. Graphic models of both the enterprise business environment and the information resources are developed over time and also change over time. The information resource models perhaps change more rapidly, particularly given
40、 the pace of development of new infomration technologies. However, even the business environment is changing ever more rapidly, as enterprises struggle to keep up with international competition and demands for improved efficiency. Thus the purpose of the IRDS conceptual schema is to enable the integ
41、ration of these heterogeneous modeling or representation forms.

42、d without license from IHS -,-,- X3H4/93-196 IRDS Conceptual Schema Part 1: Conceptual Schema for IRDS thought of as producing a single logical enterprise model comprised of any number of physical models produced using various representation languages, schemes or paradigms. Where the constructs are
43、similar between two or more modeling forms recognized by an IRDS, models produced in one form could be presented in another. Even when the modeling forms are dissimilar, models represented in one form could be referenced by or logically integrated with other models represented in yet another form. T
44、hii would be useful, for example, in cases where the content of two or more models is related in some logical way, while both modeling forms are quite different. Data models and process models are an example. They have fundamentally different concepts, constructs and visual presentation forms, but y
45、et the data in a data model may be the same krgical entities and the inputs and outputs in a process model. The purpose of this technical report is to describe an IRDS conceptual schema framework that supports the representstion, integration and interaction of heterogeneous representation languages,
46、schemes or paradigms used to model the enterprise business environment and its supporting information resources. Additionally, the technical report defines and demonstrates the technical validity of an approach for applying this framework. Thii description of the CS framework and the approach to app
47、lying it serves 8s the basis for developing a standard for an IRDS conceptual schema. 1.1.2 scope Gwen the purpose of this technical report, the scope of the materiel presented in pert f: Conceptual Schema for IRDS includes not only the actual description of the IRDS conceptual schema fnmework and a
48、pproach, but also considerable background material to aid in understanding the basis for the framework and approach, and t0 provide sufficient justification for their selection. The report therefore includes requirements of the IRDS in general, 8s well 8s for the IRDS conceptual schema in specific. tt includes the description of a logic81 archiiecture for conceptual schemas in general, along with 8 description of how those general CS concepts, principles and architectural elements c8n be applied to meet the requirements of an IFtDS CS.
