		<description><![CDATA[Enterprise ontology was a topic of academic research in the 90s, e.g. in Canada, Holland, and Scotland. This early work was informed by industrial practice in enterprise modeling, and emphasized industrial issues like product design, requirements, organization, manufacturing, transportation, quality, inventory etc. The added value of an ontological approach compared to conventional enterprise modeling was however never clear to industrial practitioners, and ontology remained an academic exercise, which was not picked up by leading tool vendors.

Recently, the fad of the “semantic web” has brought forward an even more theoretical approach to enterprise ontology. Its proponents seem unaware of the earlier work. As before, interoperability is the core concern that ontologies are addressing, e.g. in the IDEAS framework. However, it seems that the focus has moved from interoperability of enterprises to exchange of enterprise models. This post questions if such an approach is viable.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=activeknowledgemodeling.com&amp;blog=6930401&amp;post=643&amp;subd=activeknowledgemodeling&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Enterprise architecture (EA) has been developed by four different disciplines, management consulting, information systems, software engineering, and systems engineering. Enterprise modelling was first applied to analyse industrial operations. Later, information systems people applied similar techniques for aligning the IT with the business it supports, and for IT management in general. After software engineering established object oriented modelling of the internals of software systems, systems engineering adapted these techniques to hardware and software co-design. Systems-of-systems thinking lead them to extend their reach beyond technology and into the enterprise realm. This wide range of perspectives has lead to confusion about purpose, terminology, and suitable techniques.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=activeknowledgemodeling.com&amp;blog=6930401&amp;post=624&amp;subd=activeknowledgemodeling&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
