Meeting Report
ISO TC184 SC5/WG1 Modelling
and Architectures
Paris, 2004-04-19/21 on Standards for Enterprise Integration and
Interoperability.
The meeting was attended by 9
people representing 6 countries: China (1),
Germany (1), France (2), Japan (1 partly), UK (1), USA (1+2 partly).
D. Chen and K. Kosanke reported on the EU Initiatives in the 6th
Framework Programme ATHENA
and INTEROP. Both initiatives are working on interoperability with the
ATHENA Integrated Project (IP) involved in technical, more
implementation oriented work and the Network-of-Excellence
(NoE) initiative INTEROP providing
for additional contribution via joint research and dissemination of
results. Special emphasis in
both initiatives is on dissemination to standardisation bodies. The
INTEROP
Newsletter 1/1 2004 has been distributed.
A work item on interoperability, the NWIP (New Work Item Proposal) for
Interoperable Process Modelling Standard: has been launched. The discussion on the content of a potential
standards revealed a dependency on the
two EU initiatives ATHENA and INTEROP. Therefore a potential project
leader
has been nominated to establish contact and report on results at the
next WG1
meeting. Since K. Kosanke is a member of the INTEROP initiative
responsible for
liaison with standardisation efforts, he has volunteered to take the
leadership
for this NWIP.
