Abstract
Many interoperable frameworks have been suggested, developed, and implemented in the past. Most of them are based on XML, web services, and semantic web technologies. In the meantime, globalization and the further development of internet and web have raised new challenges and opportunities. New form of networked organizations, known as virtual enterprises, seeks for knowledge sharing around common goals. The rise of the social and ubiquitous world, where everything is going to be connected, gives a lot of technical opportunities for electronic business, but at the same time makes new barriers due to increasing heterogeneity issues. This chapter gives an overview of main challenges, obstacles, approaches, recent research efforts, and forecasts in order to overcome recent interoperability problems.
