| Name | ATHENA Interoperability Framework (AIF) |
| Result type | Framework |
| Description/functionality | The framework aims at providing solution developers and integrators with guidelines on how to use the ATHENA solutions in addressing their business needs and technical requirements for interoperability. The framework is structured into three main parts:
- Conceptual integration which focuses on concepts, metamodels, languages and model relationships. It provides us with a foundation for systemising various aspects of software model interoperability.
- Technical integration which focuses on the software development and execution environments. It provides us with development tools for developing software models and execution platforms for executing software models.
- Applicative integration which focuses on methodologies, standards and domain models. It provides us with guidelines, principles and patterns that can be used to solve software interoperability issues.
