BOM++, a semantically enriched BOM

The Defence Conceptual Modelling Framework (DCMF) is the Swedish Defence Research Agency's (FOI) proposal to deal with conceptual modelling in the military domain. The vision of the DCMF is to enable composability, interoperability and reuse of knowledge for modelling and simulation. The final products, the conceptual models, are called Mission Space Models (MSMs), following the original CMMS proposal (proposed by the US DoD). However, the representation formalisation for the MSMs is still under research. To find a suitable representation template we are currently investigating several proposals of which the Base Object Model (BOM) is one. In this paper, we introduce two different proposals for semantic enhancements of BOM for enabling representation of the MSM conceptual models.
