Abstract
Nowadays enterprise models exist in a variety of types and are based mostly on graphical modeling languages, prominent examples being UML and BPMN. Model relations oftentimes are not made explicit and are hard to analyze. As a consequence, the information integration and interoperability potential of existing enterprise models cannot be exploited efficiently. This paper presents an approach, where based on annotations the model-contained information is made accessible for further processing. Multiple dimensions of the model (i.e. semantic and structural) are considered, allowing a comprehensive view on the model-contained information. Based on that, inter-model relations can be discovered and analyzed.
