Towards an open framework for inter-organizational workflow semantic annotation

摘要

In this paper, we propose a semantic and contextual workflow annotation framework for B2B integration. This annotation framework allows the detection of heterogeneities occurring between inter-organizational workflows and enables their correction through mediation services provided through a Cloud-based B2Bi (Business-to-Business integration) platform. This work describes also, the general architecture of the B2Bi platform, that offers mediation functionalities “as service” and takes charge of the B2B integration, from end to end, allowing collaborating partners to focus exclusively on business opportunities.
