Integration Enterprise Process Metrics Model and Information Model Based on Semantics

The key to practice enterprise process measure is to integrate metrics model with information model, and collect metrics data from information system. The semantics structure of basic metric is analyzed, and guide lines are given to describe the semantics of metric for collecting metric data automatically. Based on domain ontology, a structure called semantic tree is defined to describe the semantics relationships among measured entity, measurable attribute and constrains, that provides the same semantic definition method for metrics and data elements in enterprise information model. Arithmetic to computer the similarity of semantics tree is presented and a method to map metrics and enterprise information model is put forward.
