Various authors use the Bunge-Wand-Weber-model (BWW-model) [We97] for evaluating grammars [Sh03]. In this presentation, we apply the BWW-Model to ontological evaluate Scheer’s reference model for production planning and control systems (PPC) [Sc94]. This study follows the approach of [FL03a] in – at first – identifying ontological deficiencies of the grammar which is used to represent a referen...
