The Governance Enterprise Architecture (GEA) High-Level Object Model

摘要

In this paper, we continue our work on building the Governance Enterprise Architecture (GEA) by proposing the GEA high-level object model for the overall governance system. The core concepts of the model emerged by utilizing a metaphor: administration and society interacting in a linguistic way. The model elaborates on this isomorphism (common structural artifacts) between the two systems: language and public administration. Based on this metaphor, the object model is built both with regard to its structure (object classes, relationships, inheritance) and its contents.
