In this paper, we work towards a broad semantic foundation that can be used to interpret enterprise models. We review several definitions of the elements of an enterprise, considering approaches in literature that describe the elements of organizations using systematic ontology-based accounts. We address a number of concepts including that of organization, agents, roles, goals, actions/plans, interactions, delegations and norms/rules. We argue that enterprise modeling covers a broad scope of the social domain which is currently not addressed by a single organizational ontology. Therefore, this deficiency led us to survey several ontologies with the aim of providing a thorough account for a real organization. Our aim is to lay down the first step towards a common basis for the study of enterprise modeling languages and enterprise modeling frameworks.
