Enhancing blockchain interoperability and intraoperability capabilities in collaborative enterprise-a standardized architecture perspective

Abstract

Collaborative Enterprise (CE) comprises of organizations that adopt digital platforms to achieve shared goals. In CE the prospect of Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) such as blockchain is reliant on its capability to integrate with other systems to improve orga-nizational operations. But the inability for different blockchains to communicate with one another is an inherent issue as it puts a strain on the mainstream deployment of blockchains in CE. Therefore, this study presents a standardized architecture to sup-port DLT interoperability and intraoperability within CE. A structural review was conducted after which design science research metho-dology was adopted to validate the architecture.
