A New Framework for Enterprise Interoperability Based on Meta- synthesis Approach through Combination of Current Frameworks

This paper represents a framework for enterprise interoperability. The aim of this framework is to develop and improve interoperability between organizations in order to deliver electronic services effectively. For this purpose, different interoperability frameworks were reviewed and their main concepts were described. After that, the key dimensions and components of the enterprise interoperability framework were extracted by using the meta-synthesis approach. Then, a framework was proposed for improving interoperability between organization in which the goals and components of each dimension were specified. Finally, a survey of expert opinions was used in order to validate and analyze the proposed framework.
