Description

This paper reports on the current state of the DEMO Specification Language (DEMOSL). The Design and Engineering Methodology for Organisations (DEMO) is a principal methodology in Enterprise Engineering (EE), while the DEMOSL defines the accompanying integrated modelling landscape. DEMO provides a method to produce so-called essential models of organisations, which are highly abstracted ontological models. For the DEMOSL this implies that it should enable the integration of the different models used in organisations when they apply DEMO, while also enabling tool support, visualisation, as well as the exchange of models. This paper describes the state of the meta-models, as referenced in the MU-theory, for the modelling and visualisation of DEMO models. The purpose and examples of six of these models and meta-models are discussed, along with extensions of the visualisation of the DEMO models. Moreover, modelling rules are presented that guide the modeller and tool developer in creating diagrams and tables with their respective elements and connections.
