Abstract
We introduce OpenSEA, an architectural framework, to enable semantics in enterprise Cloud computing architectures to interoperate for information access and knowledge generation. The ISO 24707:2007 Common Logic Standards are designed to provide an abstract syntax for logic systems, the purpose of which is to provide a commonality for interaction between different systems. OpenSEA uses these open standards as the foundation of a framework for Semantic Enterprise Architectures by combining them with definitions for enterprise architecture provided by The Open Group Architecture Framework. By using abstract syntax and semantics based on standards that are free to extend and specialise, OpenSEA provides the possibility for systems to interact by providing common generalisations for all conceptual structures that adhere to the framework.
