Abstract

Companies are more and more focusing on their core competencies, outsourcing business tasks to their business partners. In order to support collaboration between business partners, adequate information systems need to be built automating inter-organizational business processes. The bases for such information systems are business components combining software artefacts from different vendors to applications which are individual to each customer. The crucial factors in identifying and building reusable, marketable and self-contained business components are the appropriateness and the quality of the underlying business domain models. This paper therefore introduces a process for the identification of business components based on an enterprise ontology, being a business domain model satisfying well defined quality criteria.
