Workshop 1 aimed to provide understanding how enterprises deploy Big Data in products and services, and to learn about challenges, benefits and impacts. Four papers were presented: 1. Interoperability of self organising systems of multiple participants, 2. A framework for a research agenda of data collection architecture of Big Data, 3. Opportunity analysis for collaborating SME networks and 4. Interoperability challenges for Context Aware Logistic Services -The case of Synchromodal Logistics.
A general concern for EOS and other promising candidates for potential standards is how to best realize a standard, reaching consensus against proprietary solutions. Examples of upcoming research questions include the capability of a reference ontology to represent several sectors, as well as key concepts, rules and relationships within the reference ontology. The paper addressing the adoption of standards based software interfaces, showed the importance to provide clear examples of adoptions and to evaluate, disseminate and promote the business benefit. Standards should have minimal complexity to make them implementable. Standardisation to connect high level concepts for information exchange needs clear methods of implementation. It can be concluded that standards for Enterprise Interoperability are indeed strongly needed, however development, implementation and adoption are suffering from various obstacles.
