Expressiveness refers to things said in a description or sayable in a description language. It contributes to the quality of conceptual schemas and justifies the development of new modeling languages. Different notions of expressiveness exist, originating from different fields of computer science. In this paper, a framework is developed that defines different types of expressiveness, integrating the other notions. The framework contains a cardinal measure to assess the expressiveness of both descriptions and description languages. © Springer-Verlag 2004.
