Conceptual Model
Definition
A conceptual model is an abstract representation of a system and comprises well-defined concepts, their qualities or attributes, and their relationships to other concepts. A system is a group of interacting or interrelated elements that act according to a set of rules to form a unified whole. The conceptual model can be materialised in a graphical representation facilitating knowledge elicitation, organisation and interaction with domain experts. This is relevant because interactions and discussions within a Working groups are often driven by a graphical representation.

Description
The conditions and constraints that apply to a given ontology are provided as shapes and other constructs expressed in the form of an RDF graph. In the context of health-ri and for national catalog we assume that the data shapes are expressed in SHACL language as an artefact. This is commonly used for validation of the data. It can also be used as a mechanism for interoperability for data exchange between two systems. Every shacl file contain contains schema definition and the exchange constraints.
