Abstract

This paper aims at contributing to develop semantic enrichment of enterprise models. Enterprise modelling and ontology are two separated fields of research. On the one hand, there exists various enterprise modelling languages developed since twenty years that are mostly considered on a syntactic basis. On the other hand, ontologies have been elaborated, which aim to formally define concepts within a specific domain in order to avoid ambiguities of understand-ing. Some problems of application of enterprise modelling languages raised because of the lack of semantic (in enterprise interoperability). So semantic enrichment of these languages is becoming an important topic and ontology can be a solution to bring semantics.
