DOMAIN MODELING OF OBJECT-ORIENTED INFORMATION SYSTEMS 167
NOTE

1. The problem of mutating concepts is closely related to what is known in the literature as the problem of
“homonym.” However, most treatments of the “homonym” problem are mainly concerned with discovering
and reconciling the locally valid uses of the same name in different models to represent different concepts.
In such cases, the concepts in question are modeled correctly in each of the models. The mutating concept
problem is about a different kind of situation where the same term is used for different concepts in the same
discourse.
