A great start point is developing a business glossary - centralizing (and getting agreement upon) the definitions of business terminology. Only when you have this in place, and agreed to, does it make any sense to go forward with designing a centralized model.
I suggest that you look at IBM's business glossary offering, as it can be stored in the same location as metadata used by modelling tools, ETL design tools and metadata analytical tools, and can be leveraged by all of them.

Wait for the challenge in getting all the silo owners to agree on consistent enterprise-wide terminology. How good are your negotiation and dispute resolution skills?!
