Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for coordination of collaboration partners are described herein. Data from a plurality of collaboration partners is received during a collaboration process. The collaboration process involves one or more of the collaboration partners at one or more stages of the collaboration process. The data comprises process data relevant to the collaboration process. The received data is stored in one or more collaboration objects. In response to a request from a collaboration partner, a customized view of the one or more collaboration objects is generated and provided to the requesting collaboration partner based on access controls. The customized view includes information about the process data that is allowed to be viewed according to the access controls associated with the requesting collaboration partner.

Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure include methods for annotating an enterprise service that is electronically stored in an enterprise service repository. In some implementations, methods include generating one or more graphs based on one or more artifacts, the one or more artifacts resulting from a development process of the enterprise service, generating one or more metadata repositories based on the one or more artifacts, each metadata repository comprising instance data corresponding to one of the one or more graphs, storing the one or more graphs and the one or more metadata repositories to a knowledge base provided in a computer-readable medium, determining one or more annotations based on the one or more graphs and the one or more metadata repositories, associating the one or more annotations to the enterprise service, and storing the one or more annotations in the enterprise service repository.

Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure include methods for provisioning services in a business network. In some implementations, methods include receiving data corresponding to a first service, receiving data corresponding to a second service, processing the data corresponding to the first service and the data corresponding to the second service using a computer-executable tool selected from a plurality of computer-executable tools to enable provisioning of a service using the business network, and the processing being performed in a situational modeling layer of a service provisioning framework, generating a kernel model corresponding to the service, the generating being performed in a kernel modeling layer of the service provisioning framework, and storing the kernel model in computer-readable memory.

Abstract: A communication facility embedded in a personalized workspace of collaborative platform for business network participants, facilitates communication, information exchange, and coordination in both human and automated interactions. The embedded facility may comprise one or more of the following. An event handler initiates information exchange between business partners, manually by user input or automatically by event(s) triggered in connected business systems. An artifact generator creates messages to be exchanged, either by instantiating a pre-defined message type or by analysis of event(s) and creation of a respective message. A transfer element is configured to transfer the generated communication artifact via one or more communication channels supported by sending and receiving participants.

Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure include methods for generating structured service descriptions corresponding to one or more enterprise services. In some implementations, methods include defining a unified schema based on a governance process that is used to develop enterprise services stored within a business service repository, executing a first data importer and a second data importer, retrieving first data and second data from the business service repository using the first data importer and the second data importer, respectively, the first data and the second data corresponding to the enterprise services, automatically generating structured service descriptions based on the first data and the second data, each of the structured service descriptions corresponding to the unified schema and being associated with one of the enterprise services, and storing the structured service descriptions in a service repository, the service repository being provided in a computer-readable storage medium.
