Abstract

Current standards for interoperability and composability focus on mandating a common information exchange data model. The Levels of Conceptual Interoperability Model (LCIM) shows that this is not sufficient. A second challenge is that the mapping between system-internal representations to the information exchange data model is left to system developers leading to misinterpretations and ambiguous information exchange. Model-based Data Engineering (MBDE) replaces this with an engineering process. Both ideas together motivate the hypothesis that self-organizing information exchange is possible if the system interfaces and behaviors are captured in machine-understandable meta-information.
