Collaborative Networked Organizations are gaining more attention from research bodies and academics as an emergent form of conducting business.This emergence is mostly based on the recognition of the improvements being achieved by the deployment of global business processes between their members. In addition, business requirements are demanding higher interoperability levels in order to be able to present quick response before environmental events quickly.Services Oriented Architectures are becoming the right choice in enabling such interoperable environments. They allow members be as independent as possible by managing their own policies, practices or supporting systems and applications. But, by contrast, additional capabilities in terms of being able to provide and/or consume electronic services to/from third parties will be also required.The IDR project will deploy a CNO platform upon a Service Oriented Architecture by deploying global business processes as web services orchestration.
