COIN Enterprise Interoperability Baseline Services

Enterprise Interoperability [3] is a relatively recent term that describes a field of activity with the aim to improve the manner in which enterprises, by means of information and communications technology (ICT), interoperate with other enterprises, organisations, or with other business units of the same enterprise, in order to conduct their business. This paper describes part of the work that COIN project has performed in the context of Enterprise Interoperability. Starting from past experiences in European projects, COIN has developed a set of baseline interoperability services that aims to solve and cover most of the Interoperability problems that SMEs are currently facing.
