Abstract
The complex environment of virtual enterprises raises a new challenge. According to the complex characteristics, this paper introduces an information integrating system, ViaScope, for virtual enterprises whose aim is integrating the distributed enterprise information effectively. Traditional federal schema is not suitable for the requirement of virtual enterprises' multi-level management, therefore, we present an extended federal schema architecture, which includes local schema, component schema, exported schema, mediated schema and integrated schema. Finally, the integration processing in ViaScope system is introduced.
