Business Interoperability

In the current globalized and competitive business world it has become increasingly more important that companies adapt their knowledge bases, in order to establish more dynamic business partnerships. However, one of the main problems found in the establishment of such partnerships has to do with the lack of interoperability between technologic systems, especially those related to the semantic of shared knowledge. The integration and sharing of the knowledge representation elements of companies, performs a key role in the research challenges in the business interoperability area. The paper presents a methodology to analyse the economic viability of companies in the needed effort to the conception of a common knowledge base in their operational domain area, in order to stimulate interoperability in the business cooperation. These studies also have as objective to support the development of the thesis that argues that in the future, the capability to adapt the semantics of business information systems will promote collaboration between companies, providing them new business opportunities.

Potential Use

Though web services offer unique opportunities for the design of new business processes, the assessment of the potential impact of Web services on existing business information systems is often reduced to technical aspects. This paper proposes a four-phase methodology which facilitates the evaluation of the potential use of Web services on business information systems both from a technical and from a strategic viewpoint. It is based on business process models, which are used to frame the adoption and deployment of Web services and to assess their impact on existing business processes. The application of this methodology is described using a procurement scenario.
