A Unified Enterprise Knowledge Modelling Framework:Complementary Study of Enterprise Modelling and KnowledgeManagement

The main objective of this paper is to study the complementarity nature of enterprise modelling (EM) and knowledge management (KM) and keep track of the benefits of this complementarity. A strong point of view to compare these notions is to study the modelling approaches of each domain. To do so, we evaluate some important methodologies in each domain and then several modelling points of view are explained. By reviewing CommonKADS, MASK, CIMOSA, and GIM methodologies and their modelling views, we propose a generic classification of the views as a global enterprise knowledge modelling. This classification is useful both for the practitioners and scientific to deal with knowledge and its modelling in enterprises.
