The aim of this course is to provide the capabilities for achieving interoperability between businesses through Enterprise Modelling.
Enterprise Modelling can be defined as the art of “externalising” enterprise knowledge, i.e. representing the enterprise in terms of its organisation and operations (e.g. processes, behaviour, activities, information, object and material flows, resources and organisational units, and system infrastructure and architectures). The goal is to make explicit knowledge that adds value to the enterprise or can be shared by business applications and users for improving the performance of the enterprise. Enterprise Modelling contributes to solving interoperability difficulties by increasing the shared understanding of the enterprise structure and behaviour. Enterprise Modelling provides methodologies for the identification of connected roles, objects and processes between enterprises from different perspectives.
