Enterprise integration in metadata environment

Abstract

Metadata play crucial role in enterprise interoperability between business, service and information layers. Metadata in different form, such as the abstract of system structure, aggregation of information, repository and semantic mediation play different role to achieve the integration interoperability, so each type of metadata contribute their value to enterprise integration. As misalignment within enterprise architecture has been ranked one of the top issues in recent 10 years, to cope with this common issue, we launched metadata based integration framework to enhance the visibility of enterprise alignment and use metadata configuration to construct the mapping between layer. © JOT, 2007.
