Within the area of enterprise, its engineering and management, the
enterprise architecture and modeling, a lot of formal methodologies,
methods, techniques and modeling languages are designed, tested and
currently employed. Among them there are widely practiced business modeling
languages, such as:
1. Petri Nets, modeling manufacturing systems and the business processes in
terms of states of objects and their interactions;
2. Unified Modeling Language or Unified Enterprise Modeling Language,
modeling enterprises in terms of objects and their interactions.
Now why the industry needs the new modeling language, as OPM, and how can
it
advance the issue of enterprise engineering, enterprise modeling and
integration? Seemingly, only by developing an integrative enterprise model,
generic ontology, generic concepts, generic modeling language, meta-models
merging the existent enterprise engineering concepts and methods.
Judging from the GERAM's oriented work, Object-Process Methodology: a
holistic system paradigm,
http://forums.nema.org:443/upload/N1049_Dori_OPM_Presentation_to_SC5_2009-04.ppt,
all the required features of the generic enterprise model are promised to
be delivered: a generic ontology of objects and processes, a common modeling
language,
formal graphics and diagrams in terms of natural language. In the promised
unification of structure and behavior, it is planned to keep all the key
ontological distinctions: objects, states, processes and relationships. The
good points of the OPM, its designed to develop a wide range of
relationship types as well, like as structural links (object-object and
process-process relationships of composition and inclusion) and procedural
links (as object-process or object-state relations). (02)
By and large, the OPM's enterprise ontology is in line with the top level
of entity abstraction, embracing basic multi-ontology classes of
things of different types, with key multi-level and multi-aspect viewpoints
(see White Paper, http://standardontology.org). Including the enterprise
reference ontology, the global standard
ontology consists of the same entities but on the top level of
object/substance Class, state Class, change Class, and Relationship Class,
having as the lower levels the object Types, process Types, state Types, and
relationship Types, like the OPM model is proposing.
Bottom line:
To effectively engineer the enterprise and complex business systems, a
normative enterprise ontology is necessary, operating with all the key
entity kinds: objects (agents, consumers, resources, capital, product,
goods), states (knowledge level, development stage, structure, organization,
management level), processes (material flows, business activities and
operations and behavior, services) and all the possible relationships among
the entities, with causality taking priority. After all, as the life
proves again, nothing is more real, material and tangible than the
world of Industry, with its enterprises, transactions, operations and very
real interrelationships. (03)
