Abstract
The German initiative Industry 4.0 will involve amongst other issues networking and integration of several different parties (e.g., manufacturing companies, suppliers, cus- tomers, sub-contractors) through value networks. This initiative underpins that this collaborative partnership will only be feasible if standardization and open standards are available. For this purpose a reference architecture is needed to provide a technical description of these standards. In this context interoperability plays a major role for the seamless exchange of data and information among partners in these value networks. Interop- erability involves the interaction of different systems and their users. Information modeling is a key concept for providing interoperability. In this paper, we present a standards framework that highlights how existing standards intertwine to establish value networks in an Industry 4.0 context.
