Modelling of information is necessary in developing information
systems. Information is acquired from many sources, by using
various methods and tools. It must be recognized, conceptualized,
and conceptually organized efficiently so that users can easily
understand and use it. Modelling is needed to understand, explain,
organize, predict, and reason on information. It also helps to
master the role and functions of components of information systems.
Modelling can be performed with many different purposes in mind, at
different levels, and by using different notions and different
background theories. It can be made by emphasizing users'
conceptual understanding of information on a domain level, on an
algorithmic level, or on representation levels. On each level, the
objects and structures used on them are different, and different
rules govern the behavior on them. Therefore the notions, rules,
theories, languages, and methods for modelling on different levels
are also different. It will be useful if we can develop theories
and methodologies for modelling, to be used in different
situations, because databases, knowledge bases, and repositories in
knowledge management systems, developed on the basis of models and
used to technically store information, are growing day by day. In
this publication, the interest is focused on modelling of
information, and one of the central topics is modelling of time.
Scientific and technical papers of high quality are brought
together in this book.
