The '''enterprise interoperability framework''' is used as a [[guideline]] for collecting and structuring knowledge/solution for [[enterprise interoperability]]. The framework defines the ___domain and sub-domains for [[interoperability]] research and development in order to identify a set of pieces of knowledge for solving enterprise interoperability problems by removing barriers to interoperability.

==Existing interoperability frameworks==

Some existing works on interoperability have been carried out to define interoperability framework or [[Reference model|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 approaches 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.

Line 24:

* 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 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 degreedegrees can be characterisedcharacterized and targeted interoperability degreedegrees can be defined as the 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.
