This documents describes the thinking process that starts with a conventional ‘data modelling’ method, such as Entity-Relationship modeling or Object-Oriented modeling, via a method of ‘generic data modeling’ up to semantic modeling and the development of the Gellish language, with Gellish Formal English as one of its variants. Gellish is an integration of a generic data model and a structured subset of a natural language. The document is a summary of the PhD thesis ‘Gellish – A Generic, Extensible Ontological Language’ which describes the definition and the use of the Gellish Formal English language.
