A model-driven ERP environment with search facilities

Traditional business models are primarily used in the initial phases of BPR or enterprise resource planning projects. They are static representations of systems requirements and business procedures, but have proven less useful in supporting the actual use of the systems. With the model-driven business management (MDBM) approach, dynamic and adaptable business models constructed as part of the implementation project are afterwards used to access the system and monitor the real business flows. In this paper, we present the linguistic aspects of the MDBM approach and discuss how the linguistic part and the modeling part of MDBM mutually support each other.
