Abstract
Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a discipline that provides generic patterns that any organisation can reuse
throughout its own business, informatics and technical components. However, EA’s current way of
thinking and working to achieve this aim is not standardised. EA thus continues to “reinvent the wheel”
that causes mistakes or wastes resources on rediscovering what should already be known. We, therefore,
represent the specific business, information and technology meta-models as patterns that can be fully
reintegrated in one repeatable meta-model for the whole organisation. The outcome is a new agile way of
thinking and working, highlighted by how EA works better in enterprise layers, sub-layers and levels of
abstraction. To test the meta-models, two forms of Conceptual Structures known as Conceptual Graphs
(CGs) and Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) are brought together through the CGtoFCA algorithm. The
algorithm identifies how the layered meta-models can share meaning and truth and without having to
recombine them into one large, unwieldy meta-model as the repeatable structure.
