Abstract

In the context of the globalisation, most companies changed the way in which they do business. Not only they have to be more reactive to changes in market forces, but they also need to be capable of adapting their business offers. To do so, companies have to collaborate mainly relying on Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) interoperability. EIS interoperability addresses problems related to the lack of system interoperability in organisations. In this paper, we focus on approaches which deliver semantic interoperability among these systems. We conclude by identifying the main drawbacks of such approaches to be adopted by world-wide industry and stating a future direction to solve these limits.
