In many cases enterprise models are considered as a part of enterprise knowledge. This paper examines the status of enterprise model as an artifact that is a part of organizational information system. In this view, the enterprise models are a part of information flow in the organization, and in their static state can be regarded as data rather than knowledge. This view helps to understand why the usability of enterprise models is still quite low in spite of the availability of powerful and sophisticated enterprise modeling tools and environments that allow to construct, analyze, maintain, configure, and integrate different types of models and even generate code and configure software subsystems on the bases of models amalgamated in the tools.
