The monitoring of individually negotiated quality objectives of transportation
processes is nowadays nearly exclusively practically performed in the cool chain industry.
This implicates that research in this area concentrates on this industry. It is
mainly investigated how data could be efficiently captured using sensor or Auto-ID
technologies and how it can be stored in rather proprietary software systems [7], [8].
The correlation of resulting event data to more complex information is not considered.
Furthermore, it is often assumed that relevant data is stored centrally and crosscompany
usage scenarios are not examined.
