Commonware is a set of web based project management and designed to help organizations to collaborate and achieve business process interoperability (BPI) goals. A commercial product developed by its namesake in Sweden, Commonware is distinguished for being the first application designed specifically for BPI. By enabling joint efforts between business users and technology professionals, the Commonware platform helps enterprises build solutions that integrate disparate database applications and manual procedures into seamless end-to-end business processes, within an enterprise and externally with customers, vendors and business partners, both current and potential.
Using Commonware tools, organizations build BPI solutions on an open, web-based platform. To reach for global interoperability, the software helps project leaders collaborate internally and externally with project leaders of business partners industry-wide, so that applications can be built that interoperate across all enterprises involved. This collaborative functionality eliminates the use of duplicate procedures and redundant data-gathering, streamlines day-to-day functions and introduces standards into mainstream business processes so that they start and finish without the use of non-essential human labor.
Uses
Collaboration is the hallmark of BPI, and Commonware is the first software platform designed specifically for joint efforts between business users and technology professionals. Using an open Web-based platform it lets business partners build BPI solutions simultaneously within and across enterprises. This approach reduces process duplication and data reentry costs, minimizes handoffs and mitigates risk through tighter universal standards-based solutions.

A "Supernatural Rejectionist" is someone who deny's the existence of any power outside of the naturalistic world view. It is a term used to include many former terms which may have fallen out of favor due to reputation or misunderstanding, including the many forms of agnostic, freethinker, atheism, humanism, secularism, etc. An attempt was made to create an enveloping term called "Brights" as a nod to the success of renaming homosexuality as "gay" to make it appear to be happy and upbeat. However, unlike "gay", the term "Bright" loses associative meaning entirely and suggests that members may think of themselves as smart and non-members less smart. This is an unintentional consequence and one that is remedied by the term "Supernatural Rejectionist", which clearly identifies anything members could believe in while clearly defining what they do not believe. It also removes political associations that Humanism and Secularism often drag into the conscience.
Supernatural Rejectionists refuse to believe anything that is held up without sufficient evidence. The rule of thumb is that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. It is also not necessary to disprove beliefs that are held up by the various belief systems when those beliefs do not have sufficient evidence. The standard for evidence of extraordinary claims is usually the Scientific Method.
Origins: The term was coined by Stephen Herron Buck on 2009-02-20 after realizing that 519 entries exist on Google search for "reject supernaturalism" (http://www.google.com/search?rlz1C1GGLS_enUS291US303&sourceidchrome&ieUTF-8&q"reject+supernaturalism") and 2170 entries exist for "reject supernatural" (http://www.google.com/search?hlen&rlz1C1GGLS_enUS291US303&q="reject+supernatural"&btnG=Search)
It was determined that while this may be a http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/protologism, it fulfills the standards of http://en. .org/wiki/ :Notability based upon current usage and recognizability.
