Workshop 12g, 26 October 2007 eChallenges e-2007 Copyright 2007 Commius consortium
Motivation, problem area
• IST Enterprise Interoperability Research Roadmap: to address interoperability as a utility-like capability (Interoperability Service Utility – ISU) for enterprises, a capability that is:– Available at (very) low cost, – Accessible in principle by all enterprises (universal or near-universal
access)– “Guaranteed” to a certain extent and at a certain level in accordance
with a set of common rules– Not controlled or owned by any single private entity
• Email is good candidate

Motivation, problem area (2)
• Email is used for interoperability tasks• Email – action oriented• Asynchronous• Context sensitive
• e-mail infrastructure in every organization• communication in a modern organization is over 78% action
oriented• Workers interact with their e-mail systems on a daily basis

Commius project
• Commius IST FP7 projectCommunity-based Interoperability Utility for SMEs
• 1st Call, 1.3 Network Enterprise objective• Addressing ISU like interoperability• Commius partners envision a future in which
SMEs enjoy a zero-cost entry into interoperability based on non-proprietary protocols.
• Systems Interoperability– interoperability over SMTP
• Semantic Interoperability– Understanding communication and – documents exchanged
• Process Interoperability– Understanding and supporting business
process from communication activities

Advances over the existing state-of-artAdvances over the existing state-of-art
• scientific advances– algorithms for context-driven interoperability: semantic
analysis of documents and communications to capture and organise contextual information and knowledge
– use of negotiation protocols supported by formal concept analysis and utility theory: achieving semantic agreement between partners

Advances over the existing state-of-artAdvances over the existing state-of-art
• technical achievements– downloadable modular system, to be plugged into existing
email infrastructure(s) using any email client or web browser – infrastructure of ontologies, holding information about
document types and ways of processing these

Advances over the existing state-of-artAdvances over the existing state-of-art
• Business: overcoming three main barriers – economic costs of entry: a lightweight platform able to interact with
simple networked environments (e-mail)– lack of skill: the semi-automatic creation and maintenance of an
adaptive, networked organisation knowledge base– cultural: it will be perceived as a straightforward extension of the
present collaboration services

Objectives
• Investigate, design and develop methods and components for system interoperability
• To devise a framework for semantic interoperability • To investigate, design and develop methods and components
for process interoperability • To deliver an open source framework • To have validated tools • To devise an appropriate exploitation strategy
