Enterprise Modelling for the Internet of Things: The ComVantage Method

Robert Andrei Buchmann and Dimitris Karagiannis

The paper provides design insights and an illustrative running example on how the ComVantage domain-specific enterprise modelling method supports capability matching in mobile maintenance scenarios, within an “Internet of Things” (IoT) environment. A key benefit of the modelling method (and its proof-of-concept implementation) is the ability of exporting diagrammatic conceptual models with domain-specific semantics to a Linked Data environment, where model elements can be linked to available IoT resources and their “Resource Description Framework” (RDF)-based descriptions (e.g., machines, sensors, maintenance actors and processes). Consequently, exported models serve as back-end information for semantically richer queries, thus enabling run-time apps to support timely maintenance interventions. The modelling method and its proof-of-concept prototype have been developed by the authors in a European research project, therefore background on the project will also be provided to facilitate understanding.
