Book cover Enterprise Ontology

Part of the book series: The Enterprise Engineering Series ((TEES))

Abstract

The case Rent-A-Car is an exercise in producing the essential model of an enterprise that offers the usufruct of tangible things: Rent-A-Car is a company that rents cars to customers. By applying the OER method to the narrative case description, one acquires the knowledge to produce the essential model of the enterprise. All four aspect models (CM, AM, PM, and FM) are presented. Together they constitute a coherent whole that offers full insight into and overview over the essence of car rental companies. The produced action rules can directly be transformed into executable computer code.
