Abstract:
Interoperability is the capability of different software systems to exchange data via a common set of exchange formats. Interoperability between two products is often developed post-facto, due to insufficient adherence to standardization during the software design process. In this paper we present a mechanism that enables the dynamic communication of different software systems at database level, based on the principles of the Enterprise Information Integration architectural framework. The mechanism is built on the top of a database schema (meta-model) and extends the framework we elaborate on for the dynamic development and deployment of web-based applications.
