## 1. INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE
|
||||||
|
### 1.1 Purpose
|
||||||
|
The EDGY ontology provides a formal semantic foundation for the Enterprise Design Graph InterplaY framework. This DRAFT specification outlines the conceptual design and intended formal semantics, pending empirical validation.
|
||||||
|
### 1.2 Domain and Scope
|
||||||
|
**Primary Domain**: Enterprise architecture and organizational design
|
||||||
|
**Application Range**: Commercial enterprises, non-profit organizations, government institutions
|
||||||
|
**Granularity**: Strategic to operational enterprise levels
|
||||||
|
**Temporal Scope**: Current state and future state enterprise configurations
|
||||||
|
**Spatial Scope**: Single organizations to multi-enterprise ecosystems
|
||||||
|
### 1.3 Intended Users
|
||||||
|
**Primary Users**:
|
||||||
|
- Enterprise architects designing organizational structures
|
||||||
|
- Business analysts modeling enterprise processes
|
||||||
|
- Organizational designers optimizing enterprise configurations
|
||||||
|
- Systems thinking practitioners analyzing complex organizations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Secondary Users**:
|
||||||
|
- Tool developers requiring enterprise semantics
|
||||||
|
- Researchers in organizational theory
|
||||||
|
- Consultants implementing enterprise transformations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 1.4 Ontological Commitments
|
||||||
|
**Graph Theory Foundation**: Enterprises are modeled as directed graphs where elements (nodes) are connected through relationships (edges) to form analyzable network structures.
|
||||||
|
**Function Behaviour Structure Alignment**:
|
||||||
|
- Function: Desired outcomes and purposes (edgy:Purpose, edgy:Outcome)
|
||||||
|
- Behaviour: Observable activities and processes (edgy:Process, edgy:Activity, edgy:Journey)
|
||||||
|
- Structure: Physical and organizational objects (edgy:Asset, edgy:Organization, edgy:Product)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Three-Relationship Primitive System**: All enterprise relationships derive from three fundamental primitives (link, flow, tree) ensuring consistent semantic modeling.
|
||||||
|
**Facet-Based Multi-Perspective Modeling**: Three complementary facets (Experience, Architecture, Identity) provide complete enterprise coverage through intersection elements.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
## 2. DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY
|
||||||
|
### 2.1 Methodological Approach
|
||||||
|
**Primary Methodology**: Hybrid macro-level (NeON methodology) and micro-level (OntoClean) development approach following Keet Chapter 5 guidelines.
|
||||||
|
**Knowledge Engineering Process** (Applied to Date):
|
||||||
|
- [x] **Requirements Analysis**: EDGY 23 Language Foundations specification analysis
|
||||||
|
- [x] **Conceptualization**: Graph-theoretic enterprise modeling principles
|
||||||
|
- [x] **Formalization**: OWL 2 EL ontology implementation (structural)
|
||||||
|
- [x] **Implementation**: Turtle serialization with formal axioms
|
||||||
|
- [ ] **Evaluation**: **PENDING** - Requires empirical validation
|
||||||
|
### 2.2 Knowledge Sources
|
||||||
|
**Primary Authoritative Sources**:
|
||||||
|
- [x] EDGY 23: Language Foundations (Intersection Group, 2023) - Analyzed
|
||||||
|
- [x] Function Behaviour Structure Ontology (Gero, 1990) - Conceptually aligned
|
||||||
|
- [x] Graph Theory in Enterprise Architecture - Conceptually integrated
|
||||||
|
**Secondary Supporting Sources**:
|
||||||
|
- [x] ArchiMate 3.1 Enterprise Architecture Modeling Language - Reviewed
|
||||||
|
- [x] Systems Thinking in Practice (Checkland, 1999) - Conceptually aligned
|
||||||
|
- [x] Enterprise Engineering methodologies - Reviewed
|
||||||
|
**Validation Sources** (**PENDING**):
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Real-world enterprise case studies
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Expert domain knowledge validation
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Tool implementation feedback
|
||||||
|
### 2.3 Design Principles (Implemented)
|
||||||
|
- [x] **Principle P1**: **Three-Primitive Constraint**: All object properties must specialize link, flow, or tree primitives ensuring consistent relationship semantics. **Verified structurally**
|
||||||
|
- [x] **Principle P2**: **Facet Coverage**: Every element must be viewable through at least one facet ensuring complete enterprise perspective coverage. **Implemented axiomatically**
|
||||||
|
- [x] **Principle P3**: **Graph Connectivity**: All elements must connect to at least one other element preventing isolated nodes in enterprise graphs. **Implemented axiomatically**
|
||||||
|
- [x] **Principle P4**: **Intersection Formalization**: Cross-facet elements (Organization, Product) must be formally defined as facet intersections using OWL equivalence classes. **Implemented axiomatically**

|
||||||
|
**Three Primitive Relationships**:
|
||||||
|
**edgy:link** (Structural Association):
|
||||||
|
- **Domain/Range**: owl:Thing → owl:Thing
|
||||||
|
- **Characteristics**: Symmetric by default, can be asymmetric in specializations
|
||||||

||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**edgy:flow** (Dynamic Sequence):
|
||||||
|
- **Domain/Range**: owl:Thing → owl:Thing
|
||||||
|
- **Characteristics**: AsymmetricProperty (directional behavioral flows)
|
||||||
|
- **Purpose**: Dynamic behavioral sequences and object passing between elements
|
||||||
|
|

|
**edgy:tree** (Hierarchical Containment):
|
||||||
|
- **Domain/Range**: owl:Thing → owl:Thing
|
||||||
|
- **Characteristics**: IrreflexiveProperty, AsymmetricProperty
|
||||||
|
- **Purpose**: Hierarchical containment and aggregation between same-type elements

||||||
|
- **Primary Elements**: Story, Brand, Purpose
|
||||||
|
- **Focus**: Organizational meaning and stakeholder perception
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Intersection Elements**:
|
||||||
|
- **Organization** = ArchitectureFacet ∩ IdentityFacet
|
||||||
|
- **Product** = ArchitectureFacet ∩ ExperienceFacet
|
||||||
|
|

||||||
|
- **RDF(S) Compatibility**: Implemented but untested
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
**Metadata Standards**:
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
- Tool interoperability testing required
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
- Process elements theoretically compatible
|
||||||
|
- Mapping validation needed

## 10. KNOWN LIMITATIONS AND RISKS
|
||||||
|
### 10.1 Technical Risks
|
||||||
|
**Reasoning Performance**: Untested axiom complexity may cause performance issues with large enterprise models.
|
||||||
|
**Tool Compatibility**: Complex OWL constructs may not be supported by all enterprise architecture tools.
|
||||||
|
**Scalability**: Graph connectivity constraints may not scale to enterprise-wide models.
|
||||||
|
### 10.2 Methodological Limitations
|
||||||
|
**Expert Validation Gap**: Ontology has not been reviewed by independent domain experts.
|
||||||
|
**Real-World Testing Gap**: No validation with actual enterprise data or use cases.
|
||||||
|
**User Acceptance Unknown**: Accessibility to target user community unverified.
|
||||||
|
### 10.3 Conceptual Risks
|
||||||
|
**Over-Engineering**: Formal axioms may be unnecessarily complex for practical enterprise design.
|
||||||
|
**Philosophical Tensions**: Graph-theoretic approach may conflict with traditional enterprise architecture thinking.

## 11. CONCLUSION AND NEXT STEPS
|
||||||
|
### 11.1 Current Status
|
||||||
|
This DRAFT specification provides a solid conceptual foundation for the EDGY ontology with:
|
||||||
|
- Complete structural implementation
|
||||||
|
- EDGY 23 specification alignment
|
||||||
|
- Formal axiomatization (untested)
|
||||||
|
- Methodological rigor (theoretical)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 11.2 Critical Next Steps
|
||||||
|
**Before Production Use**:
|
||||||
|
1. Complete automated validation suite (Phase 1)
|
||||||
|
2. Perform scalability and performance testing (Phase 2)
|
||||||
|
3. Obtain independent expert validation (Phase 3)
|
||||||
|
4. Conduct real-world pilot testing (Phase 4)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 11.3 Expected Timeline
|
||||||
|
**Validation Complete**: 3-6 months
|
||||||
|
**Production Ready**: 6-12 months
|
||||||
|
**Community Adoption**: 12-24 months
