“…-Merge pattern: The merge pattern can be regarded as a specialization of the transformation pattern, where a merge rule generates a part of the ontology from two or more EA framework models The transformation between enterprise architecture and enterprise ontology, which makes the semantics of the graphical models explicit, is called lifting [10]. It has been implemented in ADOxx® [11].…”

Highlights• We propose a new paradigm for next generation enterprise information systems for the continuous alignment of business and IT for the agile enterprise.• The metamodelling approach supports both human-interpretable enterprise architecture models and machineinterpretable enterprise ontologies.• Semantic lifting transforms metamodels for the enterprise architectures into machine-interpretable enterprise ontologies.• Semantic metamodels express the semantics of all modelling concepts by an ontology. The ontology is extended by a metamodel, which defines the notation and syntax of the graphical modelling language.• Examples of next generation enterprise information systems are described, which embed modelling tools and algorithms for model analysis, identification of adaptation needs, and risk assessment.Abstract-The paper deals with Next Generation Enterprise Information Systems in the context of Enterprise Engineering. The continuous alignment of business and IT in a rapidly changing environment is a grand challenge for today's enterprises. The ability to react timeously to continuous and unexpected change is called agility and is an essential quality of the modern enterprise. Being agile has consequences for the engineering of enterprises and enterprise information systems. We propose a new paradigm for next generation enterprise information systems, which shifts the development approach of model-driven engineering to continuous adaptation of the agile enterprise. We propose a metamodeling approach, which supports both humaninterpretable representations, i.e. graphical models, and machine-interpretable representations, namely enterprise ontologies. Furthermore, we describe next generation enterprise information systems, which embed modeling tools and algorithms for model analysis.Keywords-Enterprise Engineering, Enterprise Architecture, Enterprise Ontology, Metamodeling Topic-Engineering the agile enterprise, embedding enterprise architecture and enterprise ontology into information systems 2

“…[2] defines it as "the process of associating content items with suitable semantic objects as metadata to turn unstructured content items into semantic knowledge resources". Semantic Lifting shifts the purpose of modelling beyond transparency and communication [14]. The interpretable knowledge base (i.e., ontology) allows for automation on models [13].…”

Cloud computing offers a great opportunity for business process (BP) flexibility, adaptability and reduced costs. This leads to realising the notion of business process as a service (BPaaS), i.e., BPs offered on-demand in the cloud. This paper introduces a novel architecture focusing on BPaaS design that includes the integration of existing state-ofthe-art components as well as new ones which take the form of a business and a syntactic matchmaker. The end result is an environment enabling to transform domain-specific BPs into executable workflows which can then be made deployable in the cloud so as to become real BPaaSes.

“…This semantic lift is implemented by annotating the concept with an ontological concept. Hence, each object in a business process model can optionally be annotated with an ontology concept [9].…”

Process Oriented Training and Learning can be applied in two different approaches: (a) processes describing the methodology of training and learning as well as (b) processes describing the organizational context that need to be learned. This paper intrudes the results of the EU project Learn PAd that developed prototypes of modelling tools enabling business processes for learning and training. Flexibility of business processes have been introduced with case management and knowledge artefacts of PROMOTE had been integrated to provide a complete modelling environment fulfilling the identified 101 requirements for the modelling language. The local deployment and the Web-based deployment of the developed prototypes are introduced and the development space that enables collaborative participation of the development and improvement of the prototypes on ADOxx.org is introduced.
