Interoperation of Organizational Data, Rules, Processes and Services for Achieving Inter-Organizational Coordination and Collaboration

Solutions to many complex problems that government organizations all over the world face today require these organizations to share, not only data and computing resources,but also policies, constraints, regulations, processes and services in order to achieve inter-organizational coordination and collaboration. This paper presents an integrated specification language and a user interface for collaborating government organizations to specify events of common interest, policies,constraints and regulations in the form of different types of knowledge rules, manual and automated services, and sharable workflow processes. A network system infrastructure for dynamic processing and interoperation of distributed rules and processes, and an event-triggered rule processing and process enactment technique are also described.
