Abstract

While developing an integral security model to be used in a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) context, we find a lot of ambiguities and inaccuracies when authors speak of models, metamodels, profiles and so on. This led us to study a great number of references in a search for precise definitions to help us to address our research. Our study and discussions were so extensive that we are convinced they will be a valuable contribution to the community. In particular, in this paper we present several Reference Concept Maps that depict graphically a large number of definitions with their associated bibliographical references. Nevertheless, we truly believe that there are still a lot of concepts to be clarified and that this clarification is essential so that basic modeling concepts can be best used by non-expert modelers.
