The Computational Group Concepts in Business Document Exchange

Abstract

Computational group concepts (e.g. total = quantity times unit price) in business document exchange are very important concepts. However, semantic consistency issue exists in document exchange such that how the computational relationship in a computational group concept can be represented, conceptualized, reified and interpreted between heterogeneous business document contexts. This paper has discussed this issue and proposed a public operation concept strategy as the solution to representing, designing and implementing the computational group concepts.
