Abstract
Decision-making on enterprise-wide information system issues can be furthered by the use of models as advocated by the discipline of enterprise architecture. In order to provide decision-making support, enterprise architecture models should be amenable to analyses. This paper presents a software tool, currently under development, for interoperability analysis of enterprise architecture models. In particular, the ability to query models for structural information is the main focus of the paper. Both the tool architecture and its usage is described and exemplified.
