OpenSEA: A Framework for Semantic Interoperation between Enterprises

Abstract

The modus-operandi for information systems is shifting. Agility and adaptability will be the kingmakers in the decentralising enterprise architecture where on-premise and cloud systems have to be combined seamlessly. At the same time the wealth of data available to organisations needs to be understood and interpreted so as to provide information and inferences needed to generate the knowledge that drives competitive advantage. This chapter offers a high-level introduction to OpenSEA, a framework that combines the open semantics of TOGAF with the open syntax of ISO 24707:2007 Common Logic to provide an Open Semantic Enterprise Architecture.Because of its open nature it is free to adopt and extend, yet retains a root commonality to ensure all participating agents can agree on a common understanding without ambiguity, regardless of the underlying ontology or logic system used.

A Transaction-Oriented Architecture for Enterprise Systems
