Abstract

The evolution of information systems (IS) has forced and obliges companies to adopt new strategies of behavior, to change in depth their organization and to be more open to their environment. Today, the IS is the pillar of all businesses enabling the interaction between them in a strategy “winner/winner”. To deal with these new requirements, the companies are often recourse to the concept of integration and in more specific way, to the concept of interoperability. It is now inescapable to ensure the economic sustainability of the company; it cannot be ensured using models that will guarantee the sharing not only information but of the semantics of the concepts exchanged. Therefore we are looking through this article to create a General Semantic Repository which has for objective to fix the technical rules to ensure the interoperability between any IS wanting to develop, process, store or transmit information making the item of exchanges via a model of interfacing and adaptation that we have already developed based on the architecture MDA and the mapping to ensure this interoperability, this model which has for objective the Synchronization of the business process BPMN of every information system interconnected from the Common Global model BPEL. This General Semantic Repository which is based on ontological database will store the semantics of the concepts transmitted between the IS of the interconnected companies. This repository will enrich the model of interfacing and adaptation for the interoperability of IS that it has already developed.
