Abstract
The paper deals with Knowledge-based Information Systems (IS) engineering. The Enterprise management functions, processes and their interactions are considered as the major components of the domain knowledge. This is the peculiarity of this approach to Enterprise modelling for IS engineering. The resulting framework for Enterprise modelling and Knowledge-based IS engineering - Enterprise meta-model (EMM) - is developed and presented in this paper. The architecture of the advanced CASE system is also discussed in this paper.
Highlights
Nowadays efficient Information Systems (IS) engineering and Enterprise modelling are directly interrelated issues
The Knowledge Base of the CASE system can be used to verify business domain knowledge, which was captured by analysts and used to construct particular Enterprise model (EM) – it is done by verifying constructed EM against the pre-defined knowledge structure of the Enterprise meta-model (EMM)
The problems of the Knowledge-based Information Systems engineering have been discussed in this paper
Summary
Nowadays efficient Information Systems (IS) engineering and Enterprise modelling are directly interrelated issues. In order to reach a higher degree of integration between IS engineering systems and Enterprise modelling techniques, one requires a common logical structure for classifying and organizing the descriptive representations (i.e. models) of an Enterprise that are significant to the management of the Enterprise as well as to the development of the Enterprise systems including Information Systems (Persson, 2001). Information Systems design languages require business-specific constructs and the Enterprise meta-model (accepted by users as business domain experts and IS developers) from which the particular models of specific business domain could be mapped Both MDA approach and the UEML constructs are aimed at the integration of the Enterprise modelling and the processes of Information Systems engineering. This formal structure is called an Enterprise meta-model (EMM)
