Enterprise Architecture Model Transformation Engine
Erik Heiland, Peter Hillmann, Andreas Karcher

TL;DR
This paper introduces a flexible, generic transformation engine that converts enterprise architecture models between various languages, addressing heterogeneity issues in modeling frameworks for Industry 4.0 integration.
Contribution
It presents the first meta-model-independent translation approach, using pattern matching and logical rules, adaptable to diverse enterprise architecture frameworks.
Findings
Successfully applied to a large German IT service provider
Flexible and adaptable to multiple modeling languages
Demonstrated effectiveness in practical scenarios
Abstract
With increasing linkage within value chains, the IT systems of different companies are also being connected with each other. This enables the integration of services within the movement of Industry 4.0 in order to improve the quality and performance of the processes. Enterprise architecture models form the basis for this with a better buisness IT-alignment. However, the heterogeneity of the modeling frameworks and description languages makes a concatenation considerably difficult, especially differences in syntax, semantic and relations. Therefore, this paper presents a transformation engine to convert enterprise architecture models between several languages. We developed the first generic translation approach that is free of specific meta-modeling, which is flexible adaptable to arbitrary modeling languages. The transformation process is defined by various pattern matching techniques…
