MSIRP: Methodology for the Economic Viability of Semantic Interoperability Resolution Projects

Due to the current economy difficulties, companies need to dynamically establish business partnerships having at the same time a careful approach in doing investments. One of the main problems found in the establishment of such partnerships is related to the lack of semantic interoperability between the partners’ information systems. The integration and sharing of the knowledge representation elements of companies, has proportionated the appearance of semantic resolution projects. The paper presents a methodology to analyze the economic viability of companies in the application or development of such projects.Copyright © 2013 by ASME
