Abstract
In our days the range of information activities supported by IT equipment, and the volume of information stored in IT systems is continually growing. So cooperation among different organizations is practically impossible without extensive, meaning preserving information exchange between their IT systems. Practically all today’s interoperability solutions are based on a previously agreed intermediary representation (formatted message standard, or standard data elements), but these solutions have a number of limitations. This paper outlines the foundations of a novel, component based realization of IT interoperability solutions. For this reason it summarizes the foundations of IT interoperability, analyses the goals, and possibilities of component based solutions outlines an architecture of component based interoperability solutions, and finally determines basics of its components.
