A Preliminary Framework for Strategic and Compliance Monitoring

Abstract

The complexity of modern organisations drives the usage of enterprise architectures models and execution data as suitable tools to manage such complexity. To promote a successful enterprise management, this paper proposes the 2QUEN framework that uses enterprise architecture models to monitor the achievement of enterprise goals. In order to represent the relevant architectural domains, 2QUEN uses abstractions like goals, business processes and normative primitives. In order to gather data to monitor goal achievement, 2QUEN proposes the first steps of a methodology to access and query data of a legacy relational database with the purpose of querying norms states. The methodology starts from normative primitives (commitments, authorisations, prohibitions and powers) and uses the architecture provided by the 2-level version of OBDA [2] (2OBDA), a framework from the Semantic Web community, to semantically represent normative primitives and their states, and subsequently map those norms to the underlying legacy data.
