Introduction
This document is based on EN ISO 11354-1. Part 1 of the standard (EN ISO 11354-1:2011) describes the
background and motivation for the standard, and provides a Framework for Enterprise Interoperability (FEI) for
describing and representing concerns, barriers and approaches to enabling enterprise interoperability. It
identifies four levels of concern (business, process, services, data) and three kinds of barriers (conceptual,
technological, organisational) that are significant for enterprise interoperability, and specifies three approaches
(integrated, unified, federated) to address these concerns and overcome these barriers.
This Technical Specification is also based on work carried out in the European projects ATHENA [9] [10],
INTEROP NoE [15] and others.
The barriers and concerns identified in EN ISO 11354-1 are used to characterise five levels of interoperability
maturity. For each combination of barriers and concerns, for all levels of interoperability maturity, mechanisms
are specified to enable an enterprise to assess its interoperability capabilities, and to evaluate these against
characterisations of maturity level. Two methods are then specified for overall assessment (i) by concern and
barrier or (ii) by maturity level. An illustrative method is provided to show how concern and barrier
assessments can be combined into a graphical representation, so providing an overall indication of existing
enterprise capability to interoperate with others (AS-IS). Additionally this analysis and representation can
identify where capabilities that are needed to achieve desired higher levels of interoperability are insufficient
and consequently investment or reengineering is required (TO-BE).
The International Standard EN ISO 11354 focuses on, but is not restricted to, enterprise (manufacturing or
service) interoperability. It is intended for use by people who are concerned to assess capabilities for
enterprise interoperability and identify areas where those might need to be improved to meet the needs and
ambitions of the enterprise.

5 Conformity with this Technical Specification
In order to comply with this Technical Specification, any particular interoperability solution shall address the
normative requirements of Clauses 7, 8 and 9.
6 Basic concepts of enterprise interoperability (informative)
6.1 Enterprise Interoperability
The concept of enterprise interoperability refers to the ability of enterprises (or part of them) to interact with
other enterprises (or other parts of the same enterprise) through the exchange of information and other items
such as material objects, energy, etc. Interoperability is seen as a necessary support to allow business
collaboration to happen, but interoperability is only a means and not the business collaboration itself. It should
also be noted that the concept of enterprise interoperability generally applies to both inter- and intra-enterprise
activities and includes extended enterprise, virtual enterprise and sub-systems of one enterprise, be they
distributed, networked or located in a single site, and whatever their type (discrete or continuous production),
nature (for example manufacturing or service) or scale (large companies or SMEs).
NOTE 1 Enterprise interoperability is not an all or nothing situation. There are different extents and different kinds of
enterprise interoperability. It is not appropriate to say “enterprise A is interoperable but enterprise B is not”. One needs to
say how much interoperability (what extent? which functionality?) exists or is needed within the appropriate business
context and the tasks on hand.
NOTE 2 Enterprise interoperability is not aiming at providing interchange ability for the enterprise system as a whole,
but to provide the necessary means only for those parts directly involved in the interaction.
A high level of interoperability cannot be achieved for free. It is generally costly and time consuming. Each
enterprise shall define its needed interoperability requirements and the maturity level to reach. It is not
recommended that all enterprises seek to reach the highest interoperability level regardless of their needs. An
enterprise will need to carry out an assessment of the benefits, costs and impacts of making such a move,
and the particular need to consider environmental aspects in that assessment by reference to the CEN
Environmental Checklist and similar documents.
6.2 Framework for Enterprise Interoperability
EN ISO 11354-1 defines a three-dimensional framework – illustrated in Figure 1 – that allows one to identify
and relate causes and effects of interoperability problems, and to identify relevant approaches and potential
solutions for those problems.

Figure 1 — Framework for Enterprise Interoperability
7 The Maturity Model for Enterprise Interoperability (MMEI)
7.1 Scope of model
The MMEI covers the two main dimensions of the Framework for Enterprise Interoperability (four kinds of
interoperability concern and three kinds of interoperability barrier). It also considers relations to the dimension
of the interoperability approach (integrated, unified or federated).
7.2 Overview of the levels of interoperability maturity
Enterprise interoperability maturity can be evaluated in two situations: (i) a priori, where the evaluation relates
to the interoperability potentiality (i.e. with a possible future other enterprise whose identity is not known at the
moment of evaluation) or (ii) a posteriori, where interoperation between known other enterprises is needed
and the assessment is concerned with the existing interoperability situation (i.e. considering the
incompatibilities between two known systems).
The five specific levels of enterprise interoperability maturity shall be defined as shown in the Table 1 and
further detailed in Clause 8. Each level identifies a certain degree of capability required to establish or improve
interoperability.
Enterprise interoperability maturity can be represented in two different ways: (i) relative to each combination of
concern and barrier or (ii) relative to each of the five specific maturity level values of 0 to 4.

CEN/TS 16658:2014 (E)
Table 1 — Enterprise interoperability maturity levels
Maturity Level capability for interoperation
Level 0 - Unprepared The enterprise has no capability for or intention to enable interoperation
Level 1 - Defined The enterprise is capable of properly modelling and describing its
systems to prepare for limited interoperation
Level 2 - Aligned The enterprise is capable of making necessary changes to align its
operation to common formats or standards
Level 3 - Organised The enterprise is capable of using meta modelling to achieve the
mappings needed to interoperate with other compatible enterprises
Level 4 - Adaptive The enterprise is capable of negotiating with and dynamically
accommodating any other enterprise
Levels 0 and 1 correspond to the situation where there are no or only ad hoc interoperations. From levels 2 to
4, levels of maturity are defined corresponding to the interoperability approach dimension of the FEI
(integrated, unified and federated).
Table 2 shows the mapping between maturity levels and interoperation environments created according to the
different approaches identified in the framework.
Table 2 — Maturity levels vs. interoperation environments
Maturity Level Interoperation environments
Level 0 - Unprepared Isolated: The interoperation environment can exchange information only
through manual mechanisms (document, fax, etc.)
Level 1 - Defined Connected: In the interoperation environment information can be
exchanged only though simple electronic exchange such as messaging
Level 2 - Aligned Integrated: The interoperation environment has a commonly agreed
format (or standard) to which all other enterprises can build their
systems or components thereof
Level 3 - Organised Unified: The interoperation environment uses meta-models, so allowing
heterogeneous systems to be mapped one to another
Level 4 - Adaptive Federated: The interoperation environment has no pre-defined format
or meta-models, instead interoperation can adjust and accommodate
dynamically using information which has been defined a priori (e.g.
available capability and capacity, entity profiles)
Each level of maturity also corresponds to a degree of interoperability ranging from no interoperability to full
interoperability as shown in Table 3.

Maturity Level Interoperability degree
Level 0 - Unprepared Interoperability is nonexistent or required manual
intervention
Level 1 - Defined Interoperability is limited with only some ad hoc
interoperations
Level 2 - Aligned Interoperability is restricted to peer-to-peer relations that
use a common format or standard
Level 3 - Organised Interoperability is extended, allowing many-to-many
relations with multiple heterogeneous other enterprises
Level 4 - Adaptive Interoperability is generally achieved, allowing full
interoperability with many other enterprises

In the following clauses, each maturity level is defined by a table based on the FEI dimensions of
interoperability concern and interoperability barrier. Each cell lists capabilities that are necessary to reach a
particular interoperability maturity level. The transition from one level to a higher one corresponds generally to
a removal of interoperability barriers and satisfaction of requirements.
NOTE A lower interoperability maturity for a company does not mean a systematic dysfunction at all levels and for all
functions of the company. The maturity is only evaluated from the interoperability point of view and cannot be applied for
other purpose.
8 Specification of the five maturity levels
8.1 Maturity Level 0 – Unprepared
The lowest level of interoperability maturity shall be characterised by the proprietary and heterogeneous
nature of systems. None of the system resources is intended to be shared with other systems. Systems
modelling and description are not complete or even nonexistent. The organisational structure and
responsibilities are not explicitly specified. There is in general no collaboration and, in particular, no
interoperation with other enterprises. Communication with others remains mainly through manual exchange.
Systems run stand-alone and are not prepared for interoperation.

8.2 Maturity Level 1 – Defined
This level of interoperability maturity shall be characterised by the limited extent of possible interoperations
and ability to interconnect. Although the actual or envisaged systems are still entirely distinct, some ad hoc
interoperations can take place but the interoperability remains very limited. Some basic ICT devices are
connectable. Simple electronic data exchange becomes possible. In general, systems and organisations are
defined and possibly modelled. Modelling tools may be in place and used at design time when specifying
systems, but these tools are technology dependent and can run only on specific platforms. Responsibilities
and authorities to define, model, update and maintain data, services and processes are also explicitly defined
and formally documented.
The description of this level is characterised in Table 7.
