Methods used to Validate Conceptual Models

Each of these attributes are determined by the primary stakeholders of the domain of focus:
- accurate
- complete
- conflict-free
- no redundancy

Attributes of a Validated Conceptual Model

Ontological models are used in designing information processing software/databases in computer science. It is useful when determining how to implement conceptual models effectively.
