Semantic Enrichment of Enterprise Modelling

Enterprise modelling and ontology are two separated fields of research. On the one hand, there exist various enterprise modelling languages developed since twenty years, but most of them are considered primarily on a syntactic basis. On the other hand, ontologies have been elaborated, which aim to formally define concepts in order to avoid ambiguities of understanding of knowledge in a specific domain. Problems of application and use of enterprise modelling languages raised are mainly the lack of semantic. So, semantic enrichment of these languages is becoming an essential topic in enterprise integration and interoperability areas.
