Enterprise Ontology

Does the title of this entry attract your attention? It does put mine under 5000 Volts anyway! This entry is about the following book:
  • Enterprise OntologyTheory and Methodology
  • by Dietz, Jan L.G.
  • 2006, XIV, 244 p., Hardcover
  • ISBN: 978-3-540-29169-5
If you've already tried one to model an ontology, you've certainly noticed how complex it is to do it for a single domain of expertise, even when one himself an expert is. Let alone describing complex and huge domains as ontologies. Enterprise modelling, construction and operation, so the author, is not a well formalized discipline. The enterprise Ontology pus itself as the answer to this problem. As part of the problematic, the book covers business processes, IS, control among other aspects. The book is destined primarily to researchers and graduate students. I haven't read the book yet, but I certainly will.
