A conceptual model is a model made of the composition of concepts, which are used to help people know, understand, or simulate a subject the model represents.
Some models are physical objects; for example, a toy model which may be assembled, and may be made to work like the object it represents.
The term conceptual model may be used to refer to models which are formed after a conceptualization or generalization process.
Conceptual models are often reified abstractions of things in the real world whether physical or social.
Semantics studies are relevant to various stages of concept formation and use as Semantics is basically about concepts, the meaning that thinking beings give to various elements of their experience.
