In this debate paper we follow up on the argumentation given by Boris Wyssusek, who criticizes the use of the BWW-ontology as a foundation of conceptual modelling. In addition, we mention some other possible foundations for conceptual modelling. We have over many years looked at the area of semiotics, given our social constructivistic view of modelling, and we give a brief overview of how semio...

Mathematics and Semiotics do not at first seem like a natural couple. Mathematics finds most of its applications describing explicit, mechanical situations, whereas the emphasis in Semiotics is usually toward that which remains at least partially obscure. Nonetheless, probability theory routinely treats circumstances that are either acausal or the results of agencies that remain unknown. Betwee...

One of the recent Web developments has focused on the opportunities it presents for social tagging through user participation and collaboration. As a result, social tagging has changed the traditional online communication process. The interpretation of tagging between humans and machines may create new problems if essential questions about how social tagging corresponds to online communications...

The aim of this paper is to introduce the theoretical foundations of an approach for intelligent systems development. Derived from semiotics, a classic discipline in human sciences, the theory developed provides a mathematical framework for the concept of knowledge and for knowledge processing. As a result, a new perspective to study and to develop intelligent systems emerges. A taxonomy of ele...

In this study, the author analyzes and discusses photography techniques seen from photos in Photoshoot Challenge Romance Rain INTM Cycle 2 semiotics of based on theory Charles Sanders Peirce. Then method taken here uses a qualitative method, because needs various references articles, journals, social media, books, others. Where six models analyzed are Helen Hiu, Sarah Tumiwa, Faradina Amalia, P...

The workpractices associated with the use of an information system can be described using semiotic theories in terms of patterns of human communication. A model of workpractices has been created called the Systemic Semiotic Workpractice Framework that employs two compatible but distinct semiotic theories in order to explain the complexity of information systems use in organizational contexts. O...
