The current state-of-the-art for integration of heterogeneoussystems involves manually resolving differences indata modeling and mapping for each interface betweensystems, in an inherently customized manner. The firststep in advancing the state-of-the-art is to develop a generalmodel of the interoperation among systems. Keepingthis as the broad objective, in this paper we have workedon classification of modeling differences among autonomouslydeveloped, heterogeneous systems as differences inwhat is being modeled (view) and differences in how themodeled information is represented (representation). Furtherto this, a set of criteria was selected for conducting anevaluation of existing interoperability approaches in orderto compare their success in resolving such heterogeneities.These criteria were used to evaluate seven of the leadingapproaches for achieving interoperability among independentlydeveloped systems. The limitations of these approachesagainst the criteria provided the motivation for subsequent development of a general model of the interoperationamong systems, the Federation Interoperability Object Model (FIOM) used in the Object-Oriented Methodfor Interoperability (OOMI), to address these shortcomings[24].
