The Architecture Ecosystem SIG (AE SIG) is a new activity of the Object Management Group (OMG), to provide for improved definition and integration of models and modeling languages within an ecosystem where modeling tools and languages can be used together more effectively. Modeling in this context includes all forms of structured knowledge representation, including: Business Models, Vocabularies, Ontologies, Object Models, System Models, SOA Models, Data Models, Schema, Process Models, Domain Specific Languages, etc.
The mission of the Architecture Ecosystem SIG (AE SIG) is to work with OMG domain and platform task forces, other relevant OMG SIGs, external entities and related industry groups to facilitate the creation of a common architectural ecosystem. This ecosystem will support the creation, analysis, integration and exchange of information between modeling languages across different domains, viewpoints and from differing authorities. In particular the need for business and enterprise level architectural viewpoints must be better integrated with the technical viewpoints that define systems to address enterprise needs. The AE SIG will focus on the capability to define and integrate languages and models in various viewpoints and support other groups that will focus on the specific viewpoints required for their specific domains. The set of viewpoints, supporting models and supporting technologies will comprise the ecosystem.
