Abstract: In order to realize the model-driven enterprise integration, enterprise model is required to be precise, formal and consistent. Within related works, the consistency problem of multi-view enterprise model depends on the specific modeling framework, and the rigid maintaining approaches of view consistency restrict the flexibility of viewpoint configuration. Based on the analysis of the characteristics and causes of consistency problems within multi-view enterprise modeling frameworks, with the idea of meta object facility (MOF) within software engineering field, the semantic constraint which causes the viewpoint consistency problem is meta-modeled, and the formal definition of viewpoint is proposed. Such this approach of defining and maintaining the viewpoint consistency has the features of generality and rigority, and makes the configuration of viewpoint flexible.
