Semantic Enrichment of Enterprise Models by Ontologies-based Semantic Annotations
Résumé
Enterprise modelling process can be seen as a knowledge-creating process. In this process the semantic conflicts in enterprise modelling is an important issue. Enterprise models are used during the system life cycle by other stakeholders rather than those who developed it. They do not necessarily know the context in which the model was built and quite often are not familiar with the language used for modelling. This situation makes the model to loose its semantics during its exploitation and creates ambiguities and difficulties in its use. This paper will show at firs where the semantic conflicts stand within the enterprise model creation process. Then we propose a methodological approach to follow for the elaboration of enterprise model with the aim of keeping their semantics during their life cycle, by the use of ontologies-based semantic annotations.
