Standards have been developed and are still developing for enterprise modelling frameworks and modelling constructs. Recently they have made increasing although informal use of UML to metamodel and hence to clarify the concepts involved. However, the relationships between those concepts (for example, positioning the modelling constructs within a framework) have not been defined to the degree of precision required. This paper describes an approach as a work-in-progress, which proposes to use metamodelling to ground the concepts within the framework, and so to resolve difficult issues such as federated views on an enterprise model. In the longer term it should also provide benefits through alignment with Object Management Group (OMG) developments, especially the Model Driven Architecture, MDA™.
