Means to enable enterprise interoperation: CIMOSA Object Capability Profiles and CIMOSA Collaboration View

: Collaboration between enterprises has moved from regional and national environments to a global one. This has tremendously increased the need for information exchange between collaborating partners. However, noncompatible (heterogeneous) ICT environments and inconsistent semantic and syntax of information to be exchanged are very often barriers in the interoperation process. Nevertheless, the relevant semantic information is usually collected in enterprise models. This information, amended by the corresponding syntax, can be collected in Object Capability Profiles that describe the required and provided information to be exchanged by the partners. An even more elaborate solution could be a new model view that collects all information needed to support intra- and interenterprise information exchanges. The authors first propose the exploration of object capability profiles for interorganisational communication or interoperation applied to CIMOSA and the related international standard C...
