Business Engineering
Read this definition of the uses of business engineering in developing and implementing business solutions for human-technology interaction. What solutions will be needed as data gets "bigger" and more complex? Will analysts be able to find ways to capture and manage all that is relevant, or will they have to live in constant fear of missing that "golden nugget" of source material that would have made all the difference in their findings?

Semantic Object Model (SOM)
The Semantic Object Model (SOM) provides a framework for the conceptual modeling of system types. The modeling concept differentiates three levels of such systems: The strategic business plan; the operational business process models which focus on process types; and the specifications for implementing application systems. These levels can also be regarded as constituting perspectives on the system. They correspond to the external, internal, and resource perspectives. Subsequently, the levels of the model undergo a further conceptual division according to the organizational architecture, the process model, the principles of coordination or the object system.
