Abstract
A computer implemented system and process enables inter-domain interaction. The system includes a native plane (292) that has a first native source (294) associated with a first domain and a second native source (296) associated with a second domain. The first and second native sources (294, 296) include domain related data and applications. The system also includes an inter-domain connectivity plane (298) that has a first domain engine (300) associated with the first domain, and a second domain engine (302) associated with the second domain. The first and second domain engines (300, 302) operate to perform domain analysis functions. The system further includes adapters associated with the first and second native sources (294, 296) where the adapters operate to abstract data and information from the first and second native sources (294, 296) onto the inter-domain connectivity plane (298). The first and second domain engines (300, 302) respectively receive data and information abstracted from the first and second native sources (294, 296). The first and second domain engines (300, 302) also operate to perform global messaging (306) between one another transparently supported by native messaging (308) on the native plane (292).
