Redefining Data-Centric Design: A New Approach with a Domain Model and Core Data Ontology for Computational Systems
This work addresses the challenge of system design and data architecture for computational systems, aiming to provide a foundational guide for designers and architects, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing informatics concepts.
This paper tackles the problem of designing computational systems by introducing a new data-centric paradigm that replaces conventional node-centric frameworks, focusing on semantic consistency and secure data handling through a domain model and core ontology. The result is a foundational approach that enables more secure, interoperable, and scalable data systems for distributed ecosystems.
This paper presents an innovative data-centric paradigm for designing computational systems by introducing a new informatics domain model. The proposed model moves away from the conventional node-centric framework and focuses on data-centric categorization, using a multimodal approach that incorporates objects, events, concepts, and actions. By drawing on interdisciplinary research and establishing a foundational ontology based on these core elements, the model promotes semantic consistency and secure data handling across distributed ecosystems. We also explore the implementation of this model as an OWL 2 ontology, discuss its potential applications, and outline its scalability and future directions for research. This work aims to serve as a foundational guide for system designers and data architects in developing more secure, interoperable, and scalable data systems.
