In contrast to system integration, which basically deals with formats, protocols and processes of information exchange, the objective of supply-chain level interoperability is to have seamless exchange of information between different participants processes, irrespectively of the underlying ICT systems used.
The Shared European Logistics Intelligent Information Space, SELIS, is a cloud based network of logistic communities’ shared intelligent information spaces termed SELIS Community Nodes (SCNs).
