Abstract

The digital transformation of the company is a condition for the socio-economic development. Dealing with ICT integration in the enterprise, the paper’s aim is the identification of the digital transformation conceptual components, required for designing a knowledge model.
To do this, a literature review is established to identify the dimensions, and their interrelations, to consider in the construction of a model, and which led to an ontology-driven model for digital transformation’s knowledge.
In comparison with other models proposed in the literature, this ontology is exhaustive in terms of knowledge, adaptable to any sector of activity and scalable in terms of dimensions and relationships composing it.
