The Devil in the Details: Fine-Grained Enterprise Model Weaving

摘要

When developing Enterprise Models, it is common to aggregate information from several partial models that describe a fragment of the enterprise. This integration is made by connecting elements from different domain models, and is usually a manual task for two reasons: (1) the criteria for connecting pairs of elements is mostly subjective and requires specialized domain knowledge, and (2) any error may impact the coherency of the whole model. However, manual weaving is a difficult and tedious task, with limited support both from methodologies and tools alike. In this paper, we describe a visual approach for weaving domain models, connecting model elements by using adjacency matrices, and visualizing changes at the moment they are made.
