Recent advances in artificial intelligence have reignited interest in how it can enable the digital transformation of organizations. Considering the slow pace at which SMEs adopt AI, a wealth of support documents in the form of guidelines, frameworks, and toolkits have been created to aid AI uptake. However, past research shows that no single support document considers all aspects to be relevant to SMEs.

This porject illustrates, how ArchiMate modelling language can be applied as the ontology level of a knowledge graph for representing knowledge that concerns an enterprise. In particular, the ArchiMate-based knowledge graph is proposed for representing knowledge about low-code software development with the purpose to make this knowledge available for enterprise management.
