Enterprise architecture has become an important driver to facilitate digital transformation in companies, since it allows to manage IT and business in a holistic and integrated manner by establishing connections among technology concerns and strategical/motivational ones. Enterprise architecture modelling is critical to accurately represent business and their IT assets in combination. This modelling is important when companies start to manage their enterprise architecture, but also when it is remodelled so that the enterprise architecture is realigned in a changing world. Enterprise architecture is commonly modelled by few experts in a manual way, which is error-prone and time-consuming and makes continuous realignment difficult. In contrast, other enterprise architecture modelling proposal automatically analyses some artefacts like source code, databases, services, etc. Previous automated modelling proposals focus on the analysis of individual artefacts with isolated transformations toward ArchiMate or other enterprise architecture notations and/or frameworks. We propose the usage of Knowledge Discovery Metamodel (KDM) to represent all the intermediate information retrieved from information systems’ artefacts, which is then transformed into ArchiMate models. Thus, the core contribution of this paper is the model transformation between KDM and ArchiMate metamodels. The main implication of this proposal is that ArchiMate models are automatically generated from a common knowledge repository. Thereby, the relationships between different-nature artefacts can be exploited to get more complete and accurate enterprise architecture representations.

一种将知识发现元模型转换为 ArchiMate 模型的方法

企业架构已成为促进公司数字化转型的重要驱动力,因为它允许通过在技术关注点和战略/激励关注点之间建立联系,以整体和集成的方式管理 IT 和业务。企业架构建模对于准确表示业务及其 IT 资产的组合至关重要。当公司开始管理他们的企业架构时,这种建模很重要,而且当它被改造以便企业架构在不断变化的世界中重新调整时也是如此。企业架构通常由少数专家以手动方式建模,这容易出错且耗时,并且难以进行持续调整。相比之下,其他企业架构建模提案会自动分析一些人工制品,如源代码,数据库、服务等。以前的自动化建模建议侧重于通过对 ArchiMate 或其他企业架构符号和/或框架的隔离转换来分析单个工件。我们建议使用知识发现元模型 (KDM) 来表示从信息系统的人工制品中检索到的所有中间信息,然后将其转换为 ArchiMate 模型。因此,本文的核心贡献是 KDM 和 ArchiMate 元模型之间的模型转换。该提议的主要含义是 ArchiMate 模型是从公共知识库自动生成的。因此,可以利用不同性质的人工制品之间的关系来获得更完整和准确的企业架构表示。以前的自动化建模建议侧重于通过对 ArchiMate 或其他企业架构符号和/或框架的隔离转换来分析单个工件。我们建议使用知识发现元模型 (KDM) 来表示从信息系统的人工制品中检索到的所有中间信息,然后将其转换为 ArchiMate 模型。因此,本文的核心贡献是 KDM 和 ArchiMate 元模型之间的模型转换。该提议的主要含义是 ArchiMate 模型是从公共知识库自动生成的。因此,可以利用不同性质的人工制品之间的关系来获得更完整和准确的企业架构表示。以前的自动化建模建议侧重于通过对 ArchiMate 或其他企业架构符号和/或框架的隔离转换来分析单个工件。我们建议使用知识发现元模型 (KDM) 来表示从信息系统的人工制品中检索到的所有中间信息,然后将其转换为 ArchiMate 模型。因此,本文的核心贡献是 KDM 和 ArchiMate 元模型之间的模型转换。该提议的主要含义是 ArchiMate 模型是从公共知识库自动生成的。因此,可以利用不同性质的人工制品之间的关系来获得更完整和准确的企业架构表示。
