Abstract
This paper presents an approach for describing inter-organisational relationships, based on the concept of the typed domain, which helps establish and enact successful relationships between partner organisations in specific domains. The typed domain consists of the relationship life cycle, projections and their documents, and domain building blocks of different granularity from which the relationship can be described, established and built. The relationships among the projections and the mappings among their various documents and related agreements can be exploited to structure and simplify the negotiation between partners. Furthermore, the mappings can be used to translate an agreement reached in one projection to agreements in other projections. This can be achieved using the typed domain as the context for the transformations and where necessary, involving further negotiation cycles.
