rates management of component knowledge and process knowledge for integrated
inter-organizational systems that exhibit semantic knowledge transparency.
Nevertheless, to fully realize the benefits of semantic knowledge transparency several
issues must be addressed. The main problem is how to determine how much and
what knowledge should be shared, when, with whom, and under what conditions
(Loebecke et al., 1999). The effective standardizations and adaptability afforded
by integrative technologies that support the transparent exchange of information
and knowledge make inter-organizational e-business relationships viable. This is
increasingly prevalent through efforts such as ebXML (www.ebXML.org), Business
Process Execution Language (BPEL) (www.oasis-open.org) and the Web Services
Architecture (WSA) standards. These allow for standardized content representation
for enterprise applications integration by defining the standards for adaptability and
standardization.
