==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.

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.

The enterprise Interoperability framework has three basic dimensions:

# Interoperability concerns defined the content (or aspect) of [[interoperation]] that may take place at various levels of the enterprise. In the ___domain of Enterprise Interoperability, the following four interoperability concerns are identified: data, service, process, and business.<ref name=" Guglielmina2005"/> [[File:Interoperability Concerns Data, Service, Process, and Business.jpg|thumb|Interoperability concerns: data, service, process, and business]]

# Interoperability barriers: Interoperability barrier is a fundamental concept in defining the interoperability ___domain. Many interoperability issues are specific to particular [[Application ___domain|application domains]]. These can be things like support for particular attributes, or particular access control regimes. Nevertheless, general barriers and problems of interoperability can be identified; and most of them being already addressed,<ref name="EIF2004"/><ref name=" Kasunic2004"/><ref name="ERISA2004"/> Consequently, the objective is to identify common barriers to interoperability. By the term ‘barrier’ we mean an ‘incompatibility’ or ‘mismatch’ which obstructs the sharing and exchanging of information. Three categories of barriers are identified: conceptual, technological and organisational.

# Interoperability approaches represents the different ways in which barriers can be removed (integrated, unified, and federated)
