ISO/TC 184/SC 5/WG 1 - Modelling and architecture

This document identifies and specifies constructs necessary for users that model enterprises in conformance with ISO 19439. This document focuses on, but is not restricted to, engineering and the integration of manufacturing and related services in the enterprise. The constructs enable the description of structure and functioning of an enterprise for use in configuring or implementing in different application domains. This document specifies an implementation framework in Clause 6 to map model constructs into such domains.

This document specifies a reference base of concepts and principles for enterprise architectures that enable enterprise development, enterprise integration, enterprise interoperability, human understanding and computer processing. This document further specifies requirements for models and languages created for expressing such enterprise architectures. This document specifies those terms, concepts and principles considered necessary to address stakeholder concerns and to carry out enterprise creation programmes as well as any incremental change projects required by the enterprise throughout the whole life of the enterprise. This document forms the basis by which enterprise architecture and modelling standards can be developed or aligned. This document does not define standard enterprises, standard organizational structures, standard enterprise processes, or standard enterprise data. In addition, this standard does not specify enterprise modelling processes.

ISO 19439:2006 specifies a framework conforming to requirements of ISO 15704, which serves as a common basis to identify and coordinate standards development for modelling of enterprises, emphasising, but not restricted to, computer integrated manufacturing. ISO 19439:2006 also serves as the basis for further standards for the development of models that will be computer-enactable and enable business process model-based decision support leading to model-based operation, monitoring and control. In ISO 19439:2006, four enterprise model views are defined in this framework. Additional views for particular user concerns can be generated but these additional views are not part of this International Standard. Possible additional views are identified in ISO 15704.

ISO 19440:2007 specifies the characteristics of the core constructs necessary for computer-supported modelling of enterprises conforming to ISO 19439. ISO 19440:2007 focuses on, but is not restricted to, the computer integration of the information aspects of manufacturing, including the management and control technology and the required human tasks. It does not specify how these core constructs for model-based operations are to be implemented and, in particular, it does not include the control language needed to specify and execute (internal) activity behaviour, nor the mapping between functional operations and capabilities.
