The meaning of an Enterprise Model
Péter Bernus, L. Nemes, Robert Morris · 1996
An account is given of the possibilities and limitations of reusing Enterprise Models (EM)1. Special difficulties are discussed which arise from the fact that stake-holders in the enterprise engineering process do not belong to a single homogeneous language community. Measures are proposed which ensure that models are interpreted as intended, thereby controlling the quality of the processes using enterprise models — such as enterprise engineering. A practical definition of model completeness is presented, based on a pragmatic theory of meaning and theory of communication.
