Abstract

New information technologies such as distributed computing systems and the National Information Infrastructure have brought the integration for global enterprises closer to being a reality. These technologies and standards alone, however, are not sufficient to effect scalability, adaptability, and usability of integrated enterprise information systems, without which the integration can collapse of its own weight. The authors present a metadatabase model to address these issues in the context of global manufacturing enterprises. The problem, the model and an application solution are described for this domain
