Interoperability Issues in Metamodelling Platforms

Metamodelling platforms are getting more and more base technology, therefore interoperability of metamod-elling platforms becomes a crucial aspect in managing corpo-rations’ knowledge assets. This paper describes a generic metamodelling platform architecture and presents an overview of interoperability issues according to conceptual domains in metamodelling platform architectures. Some of these issues are illustrated by a case study from the insurance sector. The collection of interoperability issues can serve as a starting point to stimulate further research on interoperability prob-lems in the metamodelling platform domain.
