3. Semantics Based Integration Framework member liaison any system component : model, tool, database or visualization interacts with other members accesses runtime data autonomously managed unrestricted design a member-specific and intelligent link with shared reality translates semantics of shared information distributes the overhead of integration links data to semantics all data exchange occurs and is persisted within Shared Reality facilitates asynchronous & concurrent access System components interact like members of a society and collaborate to meet common goals Members pool resources and expertise while remaining autonomous individuals
