A new paradigm for continuous alignment of business and IT: combining enterprise architecture modeling and enterprise ontology.

Being agile has consequences for the engineering of enterprises and enterprise information systems. We propose a new paradigm for next generation enterprise information systems, which shifts the development approach of model-driven engineering to continuous adaptation of the agile enterprise. We propose a metamodeling approach, which supports both human-interpretable representations, i.e. graphical models, and machine-interpretable representations, namely enterprise ontologies. Furthermore, we describe next generation enterprise information systems, which embed modeling tools and algorithms for model analysis.enEnterprise engineeringEnterprise architectureEnterprise ontologiesMetamodelingBusiness-IT alignmentArticleHinkelmann, K., Karagiannis, D., Thoenssen, B., Woitsch, R., Gerber, A., & Van der Merwe, A.
