An Approach for Maintaining Models of an E-commerce Collaboration

To keep an overview on complex e-commerce collaborations several models are used to describe them. When models overlap in describing a collaboration, the overlapping information should not contradict. Models are of different nature and maintained by different people. Therefore, keeping model-overlap contradiction-free is challenging. In this paper we propose a novel approach for maintaining models representing an E-Commerce collaboration. Applying this approach supports avoiding contradictions in models during evolution of E-Commerce collaborations.
