Towards Inter-Operable Enterprise Systems – Graph-Based Validation of a Context-Driven Approach for Message Profiling

Abstract

Providing the business context has a potential to become a powerful mechanism for the interoperable usage and efficient maintenance of message standards. In the literature, there are multiple techniques for its representation and application. Industry use cases have identified multiple issues that come with currently used techniques, which can represent that context. Initial assessment of a logic-based technique for doing so has been conducted and showed that some of the identified issues can be resolved. This paper presents plan for validation of the logic-based technique where proposed algorithms will be assessed in realistic integration scenarios. The paper gives details of the validation steps, goals that need to be met, and indicates issues that guide our future research plans.
