Abstract
Up to now, there is little academic support
for the challenges of IT management. As a
reaction, various best practice frameworks were
developed, which can be subsumed under the topic
IT governance. These still have no sound basis or
scientific foundation. To undertake a step in this
direction we present a metamodel of COBIT, the
popular IT governance framework. A major goal
of this paper is to represent the underlying logical
and semantically rich structure of this framework.
This turns out to be fruitful for comparing and integrating different frameworks. Furthermore,
frameworks can be checked for completeness and
can be integrated on this basis. An interesting application is the representation of IT governance
frameworks in a tool, which is demonstrated in the
paper as well.
