Abstract:
This paper presents the design and usage of a language for Conceptual Data Modeling in Model-based
Systems Engineering. Based on an existing analysis of presently employed data modeling languages, a new
conceptual data modeling language is defined that brings together characteristic features from software engineering
languages, features from languages classically employed for knowledge engineering, as well as
entirely newly developed functional aspects. This language has been applied to model a spacecraft as an example,
demonstrating its utility for developing complex, multidisciplinary systems in the scope of Modelbased
Space Systems Engineering.
