Customers Business Profile:

• Searching Suppliers / Sellers• Approves Supplier / Seller• Defines Business Process

• Looking at processes such as deciphering a customer order we note that there are many variables required to be understood between the participating Organisations.

Typical Naming of variables within the coding would be different in each organisation

A semantic cross reference example

A simple demonstration of how different Organisation may define the same item under different categories.

We as humans all understand what a pencil is whether we are in China or Lithuania. But think how it is described in an electronic format.

STASIS Business Cooperation

Now think about the difficulty of Mapping many variables that might refer to the same item but due to the definition of such items being different in a

variety of organisations, standard software would miss these relationships.

Example Applications that may eventually incorporate STASIS technology to help map common components

STASIS Comparator helps to create cross reference relationships

An Example of Defining Relationships

Cross References can be used to feed into transformations tools (developed outsideof STASIS)
