Jan L.G. Dietz (2006)
Enterprise Ontology: Theory and Methodology

http://slashdemocracy.org/book/3540291695

If one thing catches the eye in almost all literature about (re)designing or (re)engineering of enterprises, it is the lack of a well-founded theory about their construction and operation. Often even the most basic notions like "action" or "process" are not precisely defined. Next, in order to master the diversity and the complexity of contemporary enterprises, theories are needed that separate the stable essence of an enterprise from the variable way in which it is realized and implemented. Such a theory and a matching methodology, which has passed the test of practical experience, constitute the contents of this book. The enterprise ontology, as developed by Dietz, is the starting point for profoundly understanding the organization of an enterprise and subsequently for analyzing, (re)designing, and (re)engineering it. The approach covers numerous issues in an integrated way: business processes, in- and outsourcing, information systems, management control, staffing etc. Researchers and students in enterprise engineering or related fields will discover in this book a revolutionary new way of thinking about business and organization. In addition, it provides managers, business analysts, and enterprise information system designers for the first time with a solid and integrated insight into their daily work.

Consistent use of Web site metadata

http://www.egovmonitor.com/node/6699

esd-toolkit has been working with SiteMorse to ensure there is a consistent approach to the use of controlled lists in Web site metadata. The e-Government Metadata Standard (e-GMS) describes how to apply descriptive data to resources, including Web pages, across public sector organisations. e-GMS 3.1 explains how the Integrated Public Sector Vocabulary (IPSV) and other controlled lists hosted by esd-standards should be used. To help local authorities comply now with e-GMS and the DCLG priority outcome R3, esd-toolkit and SiteMorse have agreed a common approach to verifying use of subject metadata (live from 15th July 2006). The aim is to remove ambiguity and help achieve a standardised way of using metadata to make it easier to find UK public sector information across the Web.

metamodel.com - Community site for meta-modeling and semantic modeling

http://www.metamodel.com/

With the rise of the object modeling (e.g. UML) on one hand, and the beginnings of a transformation of the Internet into a "Semantic Web" on the other, semantic modeling and meta-modeling has become critically important for many, if not most areas of information systems development. This site strives to be the premier source of information and community on semantic modeling and meta-modelling on the Web.

Requirements for a Web Ontology Language

http://www.w3.org/TR/webont-req/

W3C Working Draft 08 July 2002. "An ontology defines the terms used to describe and represent an area of knowledge. Ontologies are used by people, databases, and applications that need to share domain information (a domain is just a specific subject area or area of knowledge, like medicine, tool manufacturing, real estate, automobile repair, financial management, etc.). Ontologies include computer-usable definitions of basic concepts in the domain and the relationships among them (note that here and throughout this document, definition is not used in the technical sense understood by logicians). They encode knowledge in a domain and also knowledge that spans domains. In this way, they make that knowledge reusable."
