Enterprise modelling of information brokerage and retailer services

This paper analyses the information brokerage service business environment and proposes a suitable enterprise model. The model definition was made according to the ODP enterprise viewpoint syntax and semantics and provides a modular framework within which the various components of the system are functioning for supporting its potential users in identifying and performing their tasks. The enterprise specification of the brokerage service starts from the definition of the actors involved in the service provisioning scenarios (End-Users, Brokerage Service Provider Retailer, Content Providers, Information Service Providers, Network Providers), their respective domains, their roles and relationships. A set of Brokerage Service scenarios is presented using the concepts defined in the proposed model.
