Abstract:
The complexity of strategic alignment is an overwhelming issue in the digital age for organizations. Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) is a major tool that facilitate the alignment efforts, providing several methods for planning and analysis. There are several methodologies that need a formal and systematic approach. The artefacts describing an Enterprise Architecture can be perceived as documents that can be represented in hypergraphs. The graph-based approach lays the groundwork for formal analysis that can assist to identify discrepancies, gaps, security, integrity and consistency issues. The paper depicts a high-level model for artefacts representing Enterprise Architecture in a hypergraph formalism. This approach can be a promising solution for EAM-based analysis of information systems and their organizational context.
