Semantic parameterization

Original research (published just this year), conflickt of interest (Travis Breaux writing aboutTravis Breaux), and there seems to be no indepentend third-party sources confirming "Semantic parameterization is a conceptual modeling process developed by Travis Breaux". Travis Breaux seems to be using this article to get this fact confirmed. Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 00:20, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Marcel Dekker's claims are factually inaccurate and inconsistent with the Wikipedia policy on original research, conflicts of interest and notability:

(1) The Wikipedia article on semantic parameterization is not original research. This Wikipedia article summarizes an earlier work that was previously published in an independent, peer-reviewed journal and this summary is not original research, by definition.

From the Wikipedia:No_original_research#Citing_oneself_policy: "This policy does not prohibit editors with specialist knowledge from adding their knowledge to Wikipedia, but it does prohibit them from drawing on their personal knowledge without citing their sources. If an editor has published the results of his or her research in a reliable publication, the editor may cite that source while writing in the third person and complying with our neutrality policy." Conforming with this policy, the Wikipedia article on semantic parameterization is written in the third person, is neutral by referencing the work of others and restricting language to the unbiased facts of the process.

(2) This article does not violate the Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest, which states: "Editing in an area in which you have professional or academic expertise is not, in itself, a conflict of interest. Using material you yourself have written or published is allowed within reason, but only if it is notable and conforms to the content policies." The article contains no self-promotional, biographical information nor does it stand to provide financial or monetary benefits to the editors.

(3) There is no question as to whether semantic parameterization is a process, this fact is established in the previously published paper. The question is whether this process should be summarized and connected to related articles within Wikipedia on knowledge representation, controlled languages and Description Logic, to name a few. In addition, there are presently at least five, independent and notable third party sources that confirm semantic parameterization is a process:
