Abstract
Enterprise representations can be used to improve the organizational self-awareness, allowing the communication of knowledge about these concerns among different organizational actors. In order to achieve this goal, the model must provide an updated, trustworthy and reliable representation. However, the typical usage of the enterprise model is restricted to support some organizational activities for limited time intervals. The recognized difficulty in maintaining it updated and aligned with the reality has prevented the usage of enterprise models as a repository of the organizational knowledge relevant for the daily activities execution. The present work proposes a process for continuously update the enterprise model trough the annotation mechanism. Annotations enable interaction contexts that allow actors to make explicit their knowledge about their activities through graphic representations. In this process, actors act as active updaters of the as-is model, through the comparison between the modeled activities and the ongoing real executed activities. This process is modeled by DEMO methodology in order to depict the essential transactions between actors of operational and model updating processes.
