Supporting Enterprise Integration through a Unified Enterprise Modeling Language
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a Unified Enterprise Modeling Language (UEML) and a set of mappings which support translating models represented under an Enterprise Modeling Language into another Enterprise Modeling Language. These mappings also permit to integrate (i.e.compose) different models represented in different enterprise modeling languages into a unique model. Additionally, UEML is a meta-model that represents the (abstract) syntax of a Unified Enterprise Modeling Language (UEML 1.0). This paper presents the foundations of the work performed during the UEML project funded by IST Programme of the European Commission 5 Framework. The rationale, the basic principles and the undertaken approach followed to define UEML 1.0. These basic principles and the approach are justified in terms of data integration and database schema integration.

Some Methodological Clues for Defining a Unified Enterprise Modelling Language
The need for a Unified Enterprise Modelling Language (UEML) that would be used as in inter-lingua among enterprise modelling software tools has been established. The process of defining this UEML goes through the elaboration of a precise meta-model describing the constructs of the language. A possible and reasonable approach for the definition of this meta-model is to integrate (parts of) meta-...

The paper presents the opportunities given by the Semantic Web technologies for the enterprise integration in the context of development of e-business software applications. Introduction In any enterprise, there are certain “IT-oriented islands” – legacy applications, database management systems (e.g., database relational management systems), client programs, etc. – hard to be incorporated in a...
متن کاملA Business Process-centered Approach for Modeling Enterprise Architectures
Mastering an Enterprise Architecture is crucial for the entire enterprise to operate most efficiently. However, there is a lack of appropriate means to appropriately visualize and communicate traceability from business processes to other enterprise architectural entities such as e.g. the supporting IT infrastructure. Therefore, systematic in-depth analysis of the entire Enterprise Architecture ...
متن کاملThe Unified Enterprise Modelling Language - Overview and further work
The Unified Enterprise Modelling Language (UEML) aims at supporting integrated use of enterprise and IS models expressed using different languages. To achieve this aim, UEML offers a hub through which modelling languages can be connected, thereby paving the way for also connecting the models expressed in those languages. This paper motivates and presents the most central parts of the UEML appro...
