Abstract

The Interoperability Service Utility (ISU) concept constitutes an innovative approach for the provision of collaborative web services promoting the establishment of Enterprise Interoperability (EI) across different and diverse enterprise information systems. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the formulation of a framework on how to effectively design, develop and implement an ISU that would successfully serve certain purpose and context. A thorough study on current ISU implementations has been conducted in order to investigate and identify existing standards, common patterns and good practices. This information has been systematically classified into a set of basic standards and design principles that could serve as roadmap to support every interested party that wishes to implement an ISU. The basic conclusion is that the ISU is open to several interpretations and may be instantiated through diverse implementations of different purpose and scale, depending on the particular requirements it has to fulfill.
