Services and IT support for interoperability implementation
conference paper
Quite a number of large enterprises are already sharing data electronically with their business partners. Retail, customs, and ports are examples that require intensive data sharing for efficient business processes. Large enterprises or communities have their implementation guides for interoperability. Although they can be based on open standards like provided by GS1 in retail, these guides are mostly different, causing challenges and possibly higher investments for those enterprises that have to implement these guides for doing business with different customers and suppliers. Especially, Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs) are faced with these challenge, since they do not have the knowledge and may not be able to invest in different solutions. There are several service providers that offer interoperability solutions and services to enterprises, SMEs and large enterprises. These services are mostly based on either technical standards like XML Schema and Web Services, that lack semantics or solutions based on data models. This paper defines a set of services based on interoperability design principles supported by IT tools.
