Enterprise Modeling - Science topic

In recent years, in the country in which I operate, there are many startups operating in new ICT information technologies, in the use of Industry 4.0 technology and engineering technologies for the production of components and prefabricates, etc. In addition, many startups are also created in the field of e-commerce, selling various products via the Internet, and providing new information services on smartphones. And in which sectors, branches of the economy and / or fields of economic activity are many startups established in your country?

Please reply,

Thank you,

There are multiple sources of direct and indirect information on and suggested structures for creating an enterprise ontology to use as a basis for enterprise modelling.

These sources include:

• Business process management frameworks

• Enterprise architecture models, tools and frameworks

• Previous projects and initiatives in the area of enterprise modelling

• Other ontologies

These subjects are all concerned to some degrees with modelling of the enterprise or elements of it, creating some form of abstract representation of the enterprise, describing its structure and functions and their interoperation, processes, information, technology and other resources types and elements.

They are all concerned with understanding the enterprise or elements of it with a view to and improving its operation and performance. These models generally focus on the areas of business structures (including people and locations), business processes and information technology (including data, applications and technical infrastructure). T

here is no one answer or one definitive statement of what an enterprise ontology should consist of. I would suggest an initial quick review of the sample sources of information listed below and the many others I have not listed but which are just as good or even better to understand what work has been done and what can be reused to create a composite and hybrid ontology.

Business Process Management Frameworks

APQC (American Productivity and Quality Center) PCF (Process Classification Framework) contains a generic process breakdown to allow work processes be defined consistently - https://www.apqc.org/process-performance-management/process-frameworks.

The Business Process Framework (eTOM)/ Frameworx mentioned below also contains a detailed process framework. Although focussed on telecommunication utilities, it can easily be applied elsewhere.

Enterprise Architecture Models, Tools And Frameworks

This is an old and partial list I created some time ago. Many of these contain an explicit or implicit enterprise ontology, albeit focussed on information technology.

Previous Projects And Initiatives In The Area Of Enterprise Modelling

As many of these originate from an academic context, they are often partially completed and/or discontinued, such as:

• TOVE (TOronto Virtual Enterprise) Project - http://www.eil.utoronto.ca/theory/enterprise-modelling/tove/, http://www.eil.utoronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/enterprise-modelling/papers/fox-tove-uofttr92.pdf

Other Ontologies

You could look at:

• Generalised Enterprise Reference Architecture and Methodology (GERAM) - http://www.ict.griffith.edu.au/~bernus/taskforce/geram/versions/geram1-6-3/v1.6.3.html

• Service-Oriented Architecture Ontology - https://www.opengroup.org/soa/source-book/ontologyv2/p1.htm

• ISO/IEC 15944-4:2015(en) Information technology — Business Operational View — Part 4: Business transaction scenarios — Accounting and economic ontology - https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:std:iso-iec:15944:-4:ed-2:v1:en

Since ConceptBase has its own Datalog-neg engine (based on tabling), the background of my question is to improve the performance for large graphs. My (naive) idea is that connected components of a graph could be precomputed and then be collapsed to a single virtual node when computing the transitive closure: each outside connection of the virtual node applies to all members when using the transitive closure of a relation. The problem is that the computation of the connected component itself is costly.

Dear Giti, my name is Danny Arévalo Avecillas.  I have a little experience in a strctural equation modeling and i know the elderly field. If you want my email is: danny182_182@hotmail.com. I hope i can help

Premature for me to recommend which model but following are some suggestions on the thought process how to choose one:

TAM et al largely focus on individual intention to use technology. I don't think they are really appropriate for organizational adoption situations.

Virtual Enterprise is a collaborative platform through which small organisations can share their resources,risks,rewards in win-win situations for their survival in turbulent market condition. What should be the ideal form of association which will tolerate continuous joining and leaving of members (flexible structure)? Is there any natural phenomenon that resembles virtual enterprise?

You probably would benefit from the evaluations of Microfinance initiatives.
