Hardcover. In this text, a general conceptual framework on enterprise integration and modelling is provided in the first chapter, and is used to tie together all of the remaining chapters of the book. The next two chapters present some basics and examples of systems analysis and design for enterprise modelling; which serve the purposes of general discussion on the subject as well as illustrating the modelling methods particular to the Metadatabase approach. The particular methods are discussed fully in Chapter 4. An overview of the Metadatabase Model is provided in Chapter 5 and illustrated with a "paper demonstration" of a basic Metadatabase prototype in Chapter 6. The main technical elements of the model are presented in Chapters 7-9. The model is then applied to manufacturing in Chapter 10, where a core information model for implementing the Metadatabase approach to integration is also included. Chapter 11 extends the Metadatabase technology into the realm of information visualization. The new user interface model developed can be applied to integrate the traditional management of information in an enterprise with new cyberspace applications such as electronic commerce.The Metadatabase model of enterprise information integration (for multiple systems) has been developed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute under the sponsorships of Alcoa, Digital, GE, GM, and IBM (from 1986-1995 through the Computer-Integrated Manufacturing and the Adaptive Integrated Manufacturing Enterprises programs), the National Science Foundation (since 1991), Samsung (since 1995), and US Army (since 1995). The technology is being developed into a product for Samsung and the Army. This work is aimed at two types of readers: those who have an interest in the Metadatabase model as an integration technology, and those who are interested in information system analysis and design. 2 The metadatabase as the GlobaVEnterprise Schema 142 8 THE GLOBAL QUERY SYSTEM 145 8. 2 User Interface for Query Formulation 147 8. 3 Integrated Schema for Global Query 147 8. 2 THE CONCEPTUAL MODEL 148 8. 2 The Defmitive Model for Metadata Requirements 149 8. 2 Conceptual Evaluation of the MGQS A~h 100 9 ADAPTIVE CONCURRENT ARCHITECTURE 163 9.
