==Existing Interoperability Frameworks==
 
Some existing works on interoperability have been carried out to define interoperability framework or reference models, in particular, the LISI <ref name="C4ISR1998"/> reference model, [[European Interoperability Framework]] (EIF),<ref name="EIF2004"/> IDEAS interoperability framework,<ref name=" IDEAS2003"/> [[Model Driven Interoperability|ATHENA]] interoperability framework,<ref name="ATHENA2003"/> and E-Health Interoperability Framework.<ref name="NEHTA2006"/> These existing [[approach]]esapproaches constitute the basis for the Enterprise Interoperability Framework.
 
The necessity to elaborate the Enterprise Interoperability Framework has been discussed in.<ref name="INTEROP"/> Existing interoperability frameworks do not explicitly address barriers to interoperability, which is a basic assumption of this research; they are not aimed at structuring interoperability knowledge with respect to their ability to remove various barriers.

* Provide support to enterprise interoperability engineers and industry end users to carry out their interoperability projects.
 
The Enterprise Interoperability Framework not only aims at structuring concepts, defining research ___domain and capturing knowledge, but also at helping [[industry|industries]] to solve their interoperability problems. When carrying out an interoperability project involving two particular enterprises, interoperability concerns and interoperability barriers between the two enterprises will be identified first and mapped to this Enterprise Interoperability Framework. Using the [[Enterprise architecture framework|framework]], existing interoperability degree can be characterised and targeted interoperability degree can be defined as the [[Goal|objective]] to meet. Then knowledge/solutions associated to the barriers and concerns can be searched in the framework, and solutions found will be proposed to users for possible adaptation and/or combination with other solutions to remove the identified barriers so that the required interoperability can be established.
