Abstract
Several forms of collaborative and networked organisations have emerged due to increased alliances, outsourcing, globalisation and improvements in distributed information systems. Interoperability demands and challenges are rising. There is a need to meet these interoperability challenges. This paper proposes a framework to assess how well a networked organisation supports interoperability. The framework is based on a set of features that describe the interoperability aspects of a networked organisation. By using such features, it is possible to identify business interoperability requirements for the networked organisation. This work has been conducted as a part of the EU project A THEN A, Workpackage B3.
