Abstract

Data sharing is important to optimize and manage logistics chains. Open standards have been developed and implemented by various logistics stakeholders. These implementations have led to closed solutions with barriers to change and implement innovative concepts like synchromodality. This paper analyzes the implementation of open standards by providing an overview of available open standards based on different implementation strategies for logistics. It reflects the state of the art of business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-government (B2G) interoperability in international trade and logistics. An analysis of the underlying problem and a proposal for a solution to create a system-of-systems for data sharing in supply and logistics with key elements of the Industrial Data Space are presented in this paper.
