  With increasing linkage within value chains, the IT systems of different
companies are also being connected with each other. This enables the
integration of services within the movement of Industry 4.0 in order to improve
the quality and performance of the processes. Enterprise architecture models
form the basis for this with a better buisness IT-alignment. However, the
heterogeneity of the modeling frameworks and description languages makes a
concatenation considerably difficult, especially differences in syntax,
semantic and relations. Therefore, this paper presents a transformation engine
to convert enterprise architecture models between several languages. We
developed the first generic translation approach that is free of specific
meta-modeling, which is flexible adaptable to arbitrary modeling languages. The
transformation process is defined by various pattern matching techniques using
a rule-based description language. It uses set theory and first-order logic for
an intuitive description as a basis. The concept is practical evaluated using
an example in the area of a large German IT-service provider. Anyhow, the
approach is applicable between a wide range of enterprise architecture
frameworks.
