Abstract
The heterogeneity of data in logistics processes is due to the use of different systems, standards and data repositories. The same information is codified differently making efforts to integrate data necessary. Information objects are typically used by different legacy systems and different standards may be applied in the global context of information flows. An information flow is a sequence in which each information exchange can be considered a bidirectional transformation of information between data formats, protocols and different rights & roles concepts of the different logistics artefacts. The high degree of heterogeneity means that implementing 1:1 interfaces for each logistics artefact is inefficient and not scalable. To solve this problem, a dynamic interoperability layer is proposed in this paper, with a wrapper component as part of each logistics artefact. The approach presented here is based on a conceptual level and a corresponding proof-of-concept is shown based on available technologies.
