Still a lot of enterprises are faced with the issue of interoperability. Whereas large enterprises are able to implement the required technology, SMEs (Small and Medium sized Enterprises) face challenges as they lack knowledge and budget. Enterprises have defined their specific semantics and business processes that have to be integrated with those of others for acting in service networks or value webs. Solutions do not yet offer a plug-and-play interoperability environment, although these solutions support open standards. From a technical perspective, an enterprise can implement a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), an Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), a combination of both called EDSOA, or messaging. The Semantic Web Architecture in which data is referred to is yet another architectural approach to interoperability. This paper defines an interoperability ontology decomposed in (1) business concepts like value propositions and value exchange represented by a business interoperability ontology and (2) their architectural grounding to technology and like XML Schema Defintions. IT tools are briefly discussed that support the specialization of the business interoperability ontology to for instance logistics and to manage the architectural grounding. The proposed interoperability ontology needs to support large-scale implementation of enterprise interoperability.
