Towards the Enterprise Engineering Approach for Information System Modelling Across Organisational and Technical Boundaries

Abstract

Enterprise Engineering proved to be useful when a generally accepted intentional description of information system is not available. A blueprint of enterprise infrastructure provides a basis for system analysis of the organizational and technical processes. It is sometimes referred as enterprise architecture. The major effort of this paper is the demonstration of how to bridge a gap among various levels (syntactic, semantic and pragmatic) of enterprise engineering. Most information system engineering methodologies are heavily centred on system development issues at the implementation level. Thus, such methodologies are restrictive in a way that a supporting technical system specification can not be motivated or justified in the context of organizational process models. Enterprise models provide a basis for gradual understanding of why and how various technical system components come about. Some undesirable qualities of enterprise engineering are sketched in this paper.
