Abstract
The adoption of a public standard at application domain level enables systems to interoperate, with a positive impact for eBusiness adoption, especially towards SMEs networks. Nevertheless conformance to standard specification is not enough to guarantee interoperability between different implementations. If we consider interoperability based on three levels (technical, semantic and organisational) not all the standard specifications aim to cover all the three levels. One of the key enablers of a 'service based economy' is the interchangeability of the service providers that requires that all the three levels of interoperability are effectively achieved. This paper analyses first these critical factors in adopting technical standardized specifications for data exchange in eBusiness; then analyses one of the possible countermeasure: domain specific use profiling and related conformance testing tools based on customization rules. slide
