Interoperability in business rules level

May 25, 2008

I was thinking about this term. What it could mean?

Probably, it means, that business rules should be semantically correct. So how one system can transfer it’s business rules semantic to other system?

Let’s say we have to communicating (inter-operating) systems. They were created separately, some time ago. Both systems are driven by some rules. For ex. one rules say:

“This data must be in both systems”.

For program system, this could mean send and write data to some DB column.

But what if other doesn’t have such column, to save received data.

Here is the problem. How computer program (one system) can determine, if other system can accept data or what data it can accept?

For this I started to interest into Ontologies, written in WEB data format.
