Dear all, I believe we should first of all make clear what a conceptual model is (briefly). We have to distinguish the role of conceptual model vis-à-vis metadata schemas, content standards etc. For example, metadata schemas are focusing description and on covering the search and retrieval needs of users, whilst ontologies’ target is to specify the semantic notions that define a domain (e.g. cultural heritage, multimedia, legal etc.) and their interrelationships providing a wider yet explicitly specified aspect, mostly oriented to cover information integration needs (i.e. facilitates reasoning, higher degree of abstraction, query model that corresponds to the users’ view of the domain, integration, inter-ontology mappings). Best regards, Lina
