Abstract
This chapter is aimed at summarizing the contribution of Antoni Olivé to the field of conceptual modeling over the last three decades. It starts with his initial proposals around the year 1986 and it finishes with his most recent, not to say current, work on the field. The summary encompasses different topics, beginning with the deductive approach to conceptual modeling and its application to deductive databases, evolving later to object-oriented conceptual schemas and, more recently, to conceptual-schema centric development. All in all, the trajectory covers a wide range of topics, all of them of great importance at the time they were treated, and has meant an important advance of the knowledge in this area during all these years.
