The present invention provides a framework to facilitate interoperability and interactions with a plurality of line-of-business (LOB) applications. In particular, maps are populated with application or system design information such as semantic and technical data. The maps are subsequently employed by the framework to enable users to interact with common and consistent semantic terminologies over a common and consistent implementation technology. Consequently, users and/or client data applications are able interact effortlessly with semantically meaningful data from a plurality of heterogeneous LOB sources.
