RESUMO

Years of research in conceptual modeling of spatial databases led to several models. Nonetheless there is no agreement on what is the best way to model the applications of geographic data, what brings some problems to this field development. The mechanism called Profile allows a structured and precise extension of UML and it is an excellent resource for modeling specific domains. This paper presents the GeoProfile, UML profile that was developed specifically for conceptual modeling of geographic data bases. An implementation of GeoProfile in a CASE tool was also performed. This showed thebenefits of using UML profiles, such as the ability to automatically check the scheme validity, making the model free of basic errors. It is hoped that this work is the first step towards standardization of this conceptual modeling field.
