Managing business models for business application development

Due to the recent trend of the management science and e-business, it is significant to respond customers' requirements rapidly than ever before. In order to achieve the rapid response, we have to manage enterprise models and to reflect the requirements on the models. This paper proposes a management framework of layered enterprise models. Proposed framework consists of a business model repository and a software repository that support enterprise modeling, workflow modeling, and application development. This framework helps us to develop web applications in incremental deployment of analysis, design, and implementation. We have implemented a prototype environment by JAVA. Each repository's contents are described by XML so that the repositories are interoperable.
