Analyzable Enterprise Models Using Ontology
نویسندگان
چکیده
While a considerable amount of research on enterprise ontologies exists, work showing how to use ontologies for enterprise architecture (EA) analysis is scarce. We present our ongoing work on creating analyzable enterprise models using EA-based ontological representation. Our contributions are twofold: first, we show how an existing EA modeling language can be leveraged to create EA ontology and second, we show how EA analyses can be realized using this ontology. Initial results of basic EA change impact analysis suggest that ontology representation facilitates EA analysis prototyping due to right mix of representation and reasoning functionalities.

متن کاملEnterprise-Specific Ontology-Driven Process Modelling
Different process models are created within an enterprise by different modelers who use different enterprise terms. This hinders model interoperability and integration. A possible solution is formalizing the vocabulary used within the enterprise in an ontology and put this ontology as bases for constructing process models. Given that an enterprise is an evolving entity, the ontology needs to ev...

Development and maintenance of enterprise systems is becoming more difficult due to change drivers along multiple interconnected dimensions. It is advisable to model the enterprise first and analyze it for potential concerns. For modeling enterprises, ontologies have been considered apt and have been used in the past for the same, but application of ontologies for EA analysis based on concepts ...

The main research goal of this PhD project is developing a method that will improve the quality of an enterprise ontology by using business models during the ontology engineering process. We will investigate what quality of an ontology stands for, and how it can be improved by getting feedback from business models developed and used by a community that shares this ontology. We will base the dev...
