Abstract

In this paper we will present the results of research into the semantics of modeling constructs for the process-oriented perspective for the conceptual modeling of enterprise subject areas. The set of modeling constructs that are defined in this paper are fully 'compatible' with the models in the data-oriented perspective in the fact oriented school of conceptual modeling. We will derive the 'semantic' bridges for the conceptual modeling methodology for enterprises in the process-oriented perspective.
