conceptual model  

Definition

  • A conceptual model is a representation of a system. It consists of concepts used to help people know, understand or simulate a subject that the model represents. It is also a set of concepts. Conceptual models are often abstractions of things in the real world, whether physical or social. In contrast, physical models are physical objects, such as a model of a toy that can be assembled and function like the object it represents.
