Abstract
Regardless of the large number of Object-Oriented (OO) modeling languages currently being used in the Information Systems (IS) modeling process, unavailability of an OO modeling language that can be used in both the analysis and design phases disintegrates the two phases. The problem is, such disintegration can lead to a high level of missing information in the real world system from the analysis phase to the design phase. The approach of this study is to propose a framework to produce design phase models from analysis phase models using ontology based Unified Modeling Language (UML), thereby integrating the two phases. The results obtained from the porposed framework involve: a consructed language which can be used in generating the analysis phase scripts; and the development of script files based on the UML constructs at the analysis and design phases to automatically generate the UML scripts for those two phases. Since this study is a part of an ongoing research study, it can be concluded that, at the end of this study (1) both analysis and design phases would be able to integrate using a common OO modeling language (2) the manual work involved in the current analysis and design modeling would be reduced (3) the complexities and difficulties faced by the modelers (By modelers we mean the analysts and designers who are doing the analysis and design phase modeling) in using UML modeling tools would be reduced.

This study proposes an ontology based UML framework for OO conceptual and system modeling
Summary
Model and system model will result an inaccurate final outcome. the final IS will not be an accurate. IS projects do not use proper modeling during the analysis and design phases due to various reasons and most trivial of them are stated below: conceptual and system models during the analysis and design phases. Primary objective of these two phases comprise making all the captured information readily available for the subsequent IS development activities with no missing information (Kim et al, 2008; Mishra and Lohani, 2007). Kuhrmann (2011) declares that complexity and less user friendliness associated with the modeling tools are major problems in conceptual and system modeling. Having observed the above problems, this study proposes an ontological framework as the solution, that uses UML as the OO modeling language
