A Conceptual Ontology-based Resource Meta-Model towards Business-driven Information System Implementation

Enterprises need a flexible and configurable it architecture to meet complex business requirements agilely. for the purpose of bridging business modelling in build-time and application configuration in runtime seamlessly, a conceptual ontology-based resource meta-model (corm) is proposed. firstly, a resource meta-model is built as a referred model to describe business elements and relationships. then, by means of ontology, these business elements are transformed into it service-oriented components such as soap services, restful services and bpel files. referring to model-view-controller pattern, these service components are then configured in a runtime supported environment. next, a state space defined by a resource array is built as the control mechanism to realize a completed it system.finally, a corm-based supported platform is built to support business modelling, service transformation and system configuration. the research indicates a new approach to develop and implement enterprise information systems in a more flexible and configurable way.
