WEBVTT 00:10.510 --> 00:17.920 OK, so before we start, I'm going to go through the goals with this chorus and the structure of the 00:17.920 --> 00:24.490 course, how it's organized, in which sections I'm going to teach it, and typically a little bit about 00:24.760 --> 00:27.010 which content each section include. 00:28.180 --> 00:28.720 So. 00:30.060 --> 00:37.050 We're going to start off with the cognitive and philosophical foundation of conceptual analysis and 00:37.050 --> 00:38.120 conceptual modeling. 00:38.880 --> 00:48.360 So we're going to go through kind of 20 years of philosophy and recent cognitive science to show you 00:48.450 --> 00:52.240 how this actually works and why it works for us human beings. 00:52.590 --> 00:58.050 So you should know the theoretical foundation upon which concept analysis and conceptual modeling rest. 00:58.260 --> 01:00.050 Then we are going through the actual method. 01:00.060 --> 01:01.040 How is this done? 01:01.170 --> 01:07.950 And when we are learning about a new method, that is at least three different things you need to to 01:07.950 --> 01:08.800 to consider here. 01:09.030 --> 01:11.780 The first are the key concepts in the method as such. 01:11.790 --> 01:14.070 So we're going to go through the key concepts. 01:14.070 --> 01:20.160 Of course, what is a concept, what is and a property, for example, what is an object, what is an 01:20.160 --> 01:26.610 association and generalization and all those kind of words that you are going to hear about we're going 01:26.610 --> 01:31.080 to go through in depth so you know exactly the semantic meaning of them. 01:32.340 --> 01:34.530 Then we're going to go through the actual process. 01:34.530 --> 01:35.570 How is this done? 01:36.000 --> 01:41.970 So you should know in which iteration concept analysis efficient and when and how to apply it successfully. 01:42.270 --> 01:47.880 You should know the different techniques to use when performing conceptual modeling in front of outdoorswoman 01:47.880 --> 01:48.510 workshops. 01:49.020 --> 01:54.720 And we're going to go through exactly how to organize and facilitate those workshops and how to document 01:54.720 --> 01:55.890 the result afterwards. 01:57.480 --> 02:02.430 And then, of course, we're going to go through the notation, so the notation is used during the workshop, 02:02.430 --> 02:05.180 of course, and is based on the key concepts here. 02:05.580 --> 02:10.200 So you should be able, after the course, to be able to interpret and construct common and advanced 02:10.200 --> 02:15.850 constructions in conceptual models using the language called UML, the unified modeling language. 02:15.870 --> 02:18.480 So that's the language you're going to use here in this course. 02:19.170 --> 02:24.780 And lastly, we're going to use my 16 years of experience in this professionally, and I will give you 02:24.780 --> 02:27.630 loads of practical, real world examples. 02:27.990 --> 02:34.800 So you it's not just about the theoretical examples I'm going to give you very down to earth examples 02:34.800 --> 02:38.810 of how I usually apply this and examples of typical domain models. 02:39.600 --> 02:44.070 So I'm going to take you through the rockbottom cognitive and philosophical foundations. 02:44.370 --> 02:47.460 We're going to go through the notation language UML. 02:47.850 --> 02:54.150 I'm going to give you Hands-On experience how to actually perform conceptual modeling workshops, and 02:54.150 --> 02:58.710 I'm going to give you loads of tricks of the trade and real world examples. 03:00.630 --> 03:03.850 So the course is divided into a number of sections. 03:03.990 --> 03:08.820 So in the first section, which is in the introduction where we are right now, we have just went through 03:08.850 --> 03:13.140 the introduction and now we're going through the sections and the goals and the structure of the course. 03:13.860 --> 03:15.840 Then I'm going to go through the foundation. 03:15.850 --> 03:21.960 So that's both the Cognitive Science Foundation and not least the two thousand five hundred years of 03:21.960 --> 03:23.370 philosophical foundation. 03:24.630 --> 03:30.420 After that, we're going through the actual notation, which is called UML, the unified modeling language. 03:30.430 --> 03:35.070 We're going to go through the parts of the email that we're using for conceptual analysis, which is 03:35.070 --> 03:36.310 a subset of UML. 03:36.810 --> 03:40.470 So then we're going through the process, how we actually perform conceptual modelling. 03:40.830 --> 03:46.260 And I'm going through a couple of different workshop techniques that are very concrete that you use 03:46.260 --> 03:53.910 during each workshop that could help you resolve common issues that comes up. 03:55.110 --> 03:57.600 Then we're going to go through the packaging of the model. 03:57.600 --> 04:04.890 How do you subdivide the model into smaller chunks to kind of create subdomains within the larger domain 04:04.890 --> 04:07.140 of the conceptual modeling you're you're creating? 04:09.810 --> 04:12.300 So that's the five sections of the course. 04:13.610 --> 04:14.910 Is this an advanced course? 04:15.030 --> 04:17.510 Yes, in some sense it is an advanced course. 04:18.390 --> 04:21.160 So learning the notation is quite simple. 04:21.210 --> 04:27.240 So, as I said, there is one section here about where we actually just learn how to notate the conceptual 04:27.240 --> 04:27.680 moldings. 04:27.930 --> 04:31.560 However, in my experience, the notation is not the hard stuff. 04:31.980 --> 04:37.740 The hard stuff is to know once you have learned the notation, how to apply it so that you actually 04:37.740 --> 04:44.280 could create models that are crystal clear that everybody find very easy to interpret and that they 04:44.280 --> 04:50.010 actually gain new knowledge and help you to take the next steps that you need to take. 04:51.780 --> 04:55.830 So to know what it means and what to do with it, that's the hard part. 04:57.330 --> 05:00.170 So before we begin, let's eat our own dog food here. 05:00.720 --> 05:06.900 So I'm going to start actually, and that's going into the next section now to analyze the conceptual 05:06.900 --> 05:09.630 foundations of conceptual analysis himself's. 05:12.270 --> 05:15.120 Very good, so see you there. 05:15.270 --> 05:20.940 Now we starting so we starting first with the cognitive foundation of conceptual analysis and then we're 05:20.940 --> 05:23.280 going into the philosophical foundation of it. 05:24.190 --> 05:25.250 See you there.
