Information exchange between information systems supported by standardisation

It is important to build systems that can exchange information with each other because information has to be communicated between systems and organisations.One important prerequisite for information exchange is standardisation.Today there is a lot of money and work spent on the development of standards to achieve information exchange between information systems and organisations.This paper will describe a number of research questions that concern information exchange and how standardisation could support it.The aim with the research is to analyse how standards can be used and implemented in information system architectures, and how an effective information exchange could be supported by standards.
