Abstract
In this paper we show how semantic metadata –
derived from the enterprise architecture description - can
improve both the exploitation of information in the operative
business and the continuous alignment of information systems
with the business. ArchiMEO, a formal representation of the
ArchiMate framework, was applied to model selected parts of a
large Swiss company, including metadata of concrete information
objects stored in various applications. The evaluation of our
approach clearly gave evidence that linking an enterprise
ontology with operational databases is beneficiary: it provides an
integrated view and management of enterprise entities spread
over various data stores, represented in different ways and levels
of granularity. Furthermore, because of its inference capabilities,
when used as metadata encoding scheme an enterprise ontology
can provide context-sensitive access to relevant information.
