Abstract
In order to support European industry in its transition process towards the knowledge-based enterprise a set of novel information-based tools for enabling knowledge, skill and data transfer is needed. Their design depends on the organic and functional enterprise infrastructure features and relations between the heterogeneous agents involved across the whole value added chain. This paper presents two approaches aiming at overcoming interoperability barriers arising in communication process among humans and machines. First one is an ontological approach, which focuses on computer-supported human collaboration and human-machine interaction by means of natural languages, enabling semantic independence of shared knowledge and data contents. The second one proposes an approach for machine data exchange and sharing, applying standards as highly extruded common knowledge.
