Focus of the BORO Program

The focus of the BORO Program

... is currently on the seamless interoperability of enterprises operational applications.

The choice of operational applications

... is motivated by two main considerations.

1. This is the area in which many businesses' strategic need to establish adequate interoperability (and the challenge of semantic interoperability) is particularly acute - both in terms of the costs of not achieving it and the benefits of successfully implementing it.

2. Operational systems provide a particularly fruitful subject for BORO's approach - both as suitable material for the BORO Methodology and as a source for reference ontologies.
