Enabling Information Interoperability through Multi-domain Modeling

Flexible integration of information systems with heterogeneous data structures and interfaces has been an important IT research goal for decades. It is a fundamental requirement for enterprise transformation that the business knowledge captured in form of data and business processes can be integrated and adapted within and across enterprise boundaries. In this paper we present results of a model-driven interoperability approach in the asset management domain. The approach builds on multi-domain modeling principles and has been applied in three large use cases over the last 5 years. We show how information interoperability and enterprise transformation can benefit from multi-domain modeling and how it fits together with a design science approach.
