Abstract
A system and method is provided for the ontological representation of the meta-models of businesses and their processes, activities, and components in one or more semantic web markup languages to enable reasoning and analyzing of instances of enterprise business models to infer relationships of business entities which are previously unknown or not clear from the original business model instance.
Claims22
A method of analyzing dependencies of components in a component model of a business, comprising:
- generating a semantic business model by applying a business meta-model to a description of the business;
- presenting to a user a component business model of the business, and receiving from the user an analytical query of the component business model;
- executing the query through the semantic business model to provide a response to the query, said executing inferring dependencies among components of the component business model;
- and
- returning the response and said inferred dependencies to the user.
A system for analyzing dependencies of components in a component model of a business, comprising:
- a business model generator for generating a semantic business model by applying a business meta-model to a description of the business;
- a business analysis workbench for presenting to a user a component business model of the business, and receiving from the user an analytical query of the component business model;
- a semantic engine for executing the query through the semantic business model to provide a response to the query, said executing inferring dependencies among components of the component business model;
- and
- means for returning the response and said inferred dependencies to the user via said workbench.
Implementing a service for analyzing dependencies of components in a component model of a business, comprising the method of:
- generating a semantic business model by applying a business meta-model to a description of the business;
- presenting to a user a component business model of the business, and receiving from the user an analytical query of the component business model;
- executing the query through the semantic business model to provide a response to the query, said executing inferring dependencies among components of the component business model;
- and
- returning the response and said inferred dependencies to the user.
A computer implemented system for analyzing dependencies of components in a component model of a business, comprising:
- first computer code for generating a semantic business model by applying a business meta-model to a description of the business;
- second computer code for presenting to a user a component business model of the business, and
- receiving from the user an analytical query of the component business model;
- third computer code for executing the query through the semantic business model to provide a response to the query, said executing inferring dependencies among components of the component business model;
- and
- fourth computer code for returning the response and said inferred dependencies to the user.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
