3 © The ATHENA Consortium. Enterprise Modelling (EM) is a capability for externalising, making and sharing enterprise knowledge. EM tools can either be: used stand-alone to produce various kinds of model views, integrated as front-ends to other systems, part of an environment providing a contextual user-environment.
