Más información sobre el libro

The first English-language edition of this book was published in 1989 as "Enterprise-Wide Data Modelling," introducing a widely used enterprise data model. The author has since advanced the representation of application problems through both theoretical modeling languages and practical real-world studies. This evolution has resulted in the second English-language edition, which is essentially a new book, reflecting a stricter focus on business processes compared to the previous edition's functional structure emphasis. This shift aligns with the current trend toward process-oriented organizational structures supported by new information processing methods. A notable difference in this edition is the increased number of pages, reflecting a higher level of detail and thorough problem descriptions. This enhanced detail addresses critical issues for selecting and designing information systems in industrial enterprises, such as product descriptions and CAM factory organization. This approach provides greater realism and facilitates a better understanding of the complexities inherent in industrial enterprises.
