Abstract

Due to the confusion of model contents and use, the reuse of existing enterprise models is limited. The inability for various aspects of an enterprise to be aware of its existing models, further exacerbates this problem. This paper presents an approach to integrating models and then proposes a methodology that will significantly aid in the comparison and evaluation of various enterprise models. This will lead to an enterprise-wide enterprise model repository. Two sample enterprise models are represented using the methodology. A direct benefit is the potential for increased model reuse.
