Abstract:
Different meta-models allow modeling the business of an organization from different perspectives. The Business Model Canvas focus is close to the strategy of the organization. E3value allows modeling of value networks and ArchiMate allows alignment from business models to IT infrastructure. When models of these three meta-models coexist for a certain value network, they must be consistent. Currently, there is no way to validate such consistency automatically. We propose a solution, using ontologies and ontology mapping techniques (OWL, OWL.DL, SPARQL) that helps to validate instantiated models automatically, based on a set of mapping rules between the three meta-models. In this work, the mappings between Business Model Canvas, e3value and ArchiMate are identified and formalized through ontologies. The formalized mapping is then applied to a case study and exploited, together with reasoning techniques.
