Abstract

An IT based enterprise model is a computational representation of the structure, activities, processes, information, people, machines, behaviour, goals and constraints of a business, government or other enterprise. It can be both descriptive and definitional — spanning what is and what should be. The role of an enterprise model is to achieve model-driven enterprise design, analysis, and evaluation.
