Ontological Modelling of Information Systems from Bunge's Contributions

The aim of this paper is to determine aspects to be considered in Bunge’s ontological models in order to obtain an Integrated Ontological Model of Information Systems (IOMIS). This alternative model would make up for one of the most important weaknesses of the Info rmation Systems ontological model put forward by Wand and Weber (BWW model): it does not take into account the particular cultural features of Information Systems. To this purpose, Bunge’s ontological model of social systems (BSS model) is approached. Starting from this model, some aspects are proposed to be included in the BWW model in order to obtain an integrated alternative model that will include characteristics of the social systems.
