Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see www .iso .org/
iso/ foreword .html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 184, Automation systems and integration,
Subcommittee SC 5, Interoperability, integration, and architectures for enterprise systems and automation
applications.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 19440:2007), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— updates to the terms and definitions to address latest practice and harmonize with ISO 15704 and
ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010;
— reorganization of the material into four components (metamodel, core constructs, specializations
and model views), as described in 6.1;
— separation of the constructs into a slightly smaller number of core constructs in 6.3 and Clause 7,
and specializations thereof (which can be extended by a model user) in Clause 8;
— introduction of a Service construct as a core construct, with specializations in 8.3 to address
servitization;
— expansion of the Decision View in Clause B.4 and introduction of a new Collaboration View in
Clause B.5 to demonstrate extensibility, i.e. use in other application domains;
— renaming of the construct property ‘descriptive’ as ‘attribute’;
— introduction of a Role core construct as a generalization of Organizational Role, Operational Role
and Person Profile;
— introduction of a Performance Indicator core construct to support operational monitoring and
process improvement;
— allowing an Enterprise Activity to be decomposable into sub-activities;

— elimination of Functional Entity to reduce the number of core constructs and replacing it by ‘active
Resource’;
— insertion (in Clause A.1) of new text explaining why and how behavioural rules need to be
constrained;
— deletion of annexes which will be included in a future Technical Report on typical usages of
identification and usage of constructs in each model phase.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found at www .iso .org/ members .html.
