Abstract
Offering Web-based products often requires that services of different application systems can be combined to a new product that hides the respective fine-grained services and application systems from the customer - thus federating these application systems. Moreover, communication between (legacy) business application systems federated to produce a given product has to be ensured on a semantic level. To support this scenario, we introduce a generic federation layer that uses an object-oriented approach as well as the WebComposition Markup Language to facilitate the reuse of code and design. In addition, we show how a semantic inter-application communication can be provided by means of a second basic federation layer.
