Abstract

In this workshop paper an experiment is designed which evaluates the use of an enterprise modeling language that was developed with the Resource Event Agent enterprise ontology and the Unified Foundational ontology as a theoretical base. The effect of using the ontology-driven modeling language is analyzed using Moody’s Method Evaluation Model which contains both actual and perception-based variables for measuring the efficiency and effectiveness of the used method.
