A Two-Tiered Database Design Based on Core Components Methodology

The number of Industry 4.0, Internet of Things, and cloud service implementations are growing rapidly. In the resulting, emerging, cross-industry, cooperative environments, a common understanding of message standards will be necessary to enable better semantic interoperability among both traditional enterprise applications and businessto-business applications. In this paper, we first discuss issues with the current state of interoperability, which is based on industry sector-based message standards. We then propose a new database design, which incorporates the Core Components Technical Specification (CCTS) methodology, to resolve those issues. Finally, we analyze benefits that come with the new database design and identify new challenges that should be considered through future research.
