=== Generic Enterprise Engineering Methodologies ===

''Generic Enterprise engineering methodologies'' (GEEM) describe the process of [[enterprise integration]] and, according to the GERAM framework (Figure 1), will result in a model of the [[enterprise operation]]. The methodologies will guide the user in the engineering task of [[enterprise modelling]] and integration. Different methodologies may exist which will guide the user through the different tasks required in the integration process.<ref name="Nell97"/>

=== Generic Enterprise-Modelling Tool ===

''Generic enterprise modelling tools'' (GEMT) define the generic implementation of the [[enterprise- integration]] methodologies and [[modelling language]]s and other support for creation and use of [[enterprise model]]s. Modelling tools should provide user guidance for both the modelling process itself and for the operational use of the models. Therefore enterprise modelling tools designs have to encompass not only the modelling methodology, but should provide model enactment capability for simulation of operational processes as well. The latter should also include analysis and evaluation capabilities for the simulation results.<ref name="Nell97"/>

=== Generic Modules ===

''Generic Modules'' (GMs) identify generally applicable products to be employed in [[enterprise integration]] (e.g. tools, integrating infrastructures, others.).<ref name="Nell97"/>
