Abstract

Conceptual modeling is often strongly related to a graphical language. Since the 80s, template-based approaches have also been proposed. However, they seldom reached the same popularity as graphical approaches. Nevertheless, template-based approaches are also important for collecting and representing information. This chapter will give a survey of approaches that used and use templates. It will be shown, how these templates are used and why their role is important.
