Community-Based Interoperability Utility for SMEs An Introduction of the Commius Prototype

Abstract

The European Commius Project aims at enabling Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to collaborate easily on the level of system, semantic and process interoperability by just the use of e-mail communication. This will be achieved by enrichment of incoming e-mails, depending on their contents (semantic interoperability), with additional information. Furthermore, recommendations of expedient further steps will be provided to process the e-mail (process interoperability). This demo-paper will give a short overview of a prototype developed in the course of the Commius Project.
