Enterprise information management for global manufacturers
Cheng Hsu, A. Rubenstein · 2002

These technologies and standards alone, however, are not sufficient to effect scalability, adaptability, and usability of integrated enterprise information systems, without which the integration can collapse of its own weight. The authors present a metadatabase model to address these issues in the context of global manufacturing enterprises. The problem, the model and an application solution are described for this domain.>
