Conceptual models and levels of modeling

• Conceptual modeling is a powerful tool for describing, defining and understanding some world under consideration. To properly understand conceptual modeling one can turn conceptual modeling on itself and develop meta models. In this paper we inquiry into the relation between conceptual models and meta models. We identify and discuss some issues in modeling and in meta modeling that have puzzled our minds in recent work with ontologies.
