Facilitating business transactions between trading networks

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing software thereon, the software when executed by a home operator processor causing the home operator processor to perform steps comprising:

receiving an access establishment request communicated over a computer network from a home user subscribed to a home trading network and not subscribed to a foreign trading network, the access establishment request including a request to access a desired application, the desired application associated with the foreign trading network and otherwise only accessible to subscribers of the foreign trading network, the foreign trading network coupled with the home trading network via the computer network;

communicating the access establishment request over the computer network to a foreign operator processor of the foreign trading network;

receiving an approval of the access establishment request communicated over the computer network from the foreign operator processor;

communicating over the computer network a home user profile comprising subscriber information to establish an application access on a home access establishment module and a foreign access establishment module, the application access allowing the home user to use the desired application without subscribing to the foreign trading network, the subscriber information including at least one application associated with the home user profile;

communicating a transaction communication over the computer network to a translation module;

comparing a transaction format of the transaction communication and a preferred data format for the desired application to determine whether to translate the transaction communication;

communicating the transaction communication over the computer network to the desired application, wherein the transaction communication is related to a business transaction and the translation module determines problems associated with translating the transaction communication; and

responsive to the determination of whether to translate the transaction communication, translating the transaction communication.

2. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the desired application is hosted by the foreign operator processor.

3. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the desired application is hosted by a foreign user.

4. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the software further causes the home operator processor to:

receive registration information communicated over the computer network from the foreign operator processor, the registration information including registration information associated with the desired application; and

automatically update an application registration database based on the received registration information.

5. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the software further causes the home operator processor to:

automatically update an application identifier set comprising one or more application identifiers, each application identifier associated with a particular application and selected by the home user in order to access the particular application; and include in the application identifier set a desired application identifier associated with the desired application.

6. The computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein:

the foreign trading network comprises a foreign user; and

the desired application is hosted by the foreign operator processor and used collaboratively by the foreign user and the home user to complete at least a portion of the business transaction.

7. The computer-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the software further causes the home operator processor to receive a notification from the desired application and communicate the notification to the home user.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing software thereon, the software when executed by a foreign operator processor causing the foreign operator processor to perform steps comprising:

receiving an access establishment request communicated over a computer network from a home operator processor of a home trading network coupled with a foreign trading network via the computer network, the access establishment request initiated by a home user subscribed to the home trading network and not subscribed to the foreign trading network, the access establishment request including a request to access a desired application associated with the foreign trading network and otherwise only accessible to subscribers of the foreign trading network;

communicating an approval of the access establishment request over the computer network to the home operator processor;

receiving a home user profile comprising subscriber information to establish an application access on a home access establishment module and a foreign access establishment module, the application access allowing the home user to use the desired application without subscribing to the foreign trading network, the subscriber information including at least one application associated with the home user profile;

establishing the application access allowing the home user to use the desired application;

receiving a transaction communication communicated over the computer network from a translation module in the home trading network, the translation module compares a transaction format of the transaction communication and a preferred data format for the desired application to determine whether to translate the transaction communication, wherein the transaction communication is related to a business transaction and the translation module determines problems associated with translating the transaction communication;

communicating the transaction communication over the computer network to the desired application; and

responsive to the determination of whether to translate the transaction communication, translating the transaction communication.

9. The computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the desired application is hosted by the foreign operator processor.

10. The computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein:

the desired application is associated with the foreign operator processor; and

the software further causes the foreign operator processor to determine whether to approve or deny the access establishment request.

11. The computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the software further causes the foreign operator processor to receive the transaction communication from the home operator processor.

12. The computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the software further causes the foreign operator processor to receive the transaction communication over the computer network from the home user without being communicated by the home operator processor.

13. The computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the software further causes the foreign operator processor to:

automatically update a profile database associated with the foreign operator processor based on the received home user profile; and

communicate registration information associated with the desired application over the computer network from the foreign operator processor to the home operator processor to update registration database associated with the home operator processor based on the communicated registration information.

14. The computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein:

the desired application is associated with a foreign user of the foreign trading network;

the foreign operator processor maintains a foreign user profile associated with the foreign user, the foreign user profile including a preferred format associated with the desired application; and

the software further causes the foreign operator processor to translate the transaction communication based on the preferred format.

15. The computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the software further causes the foreign operator processor to translate the transaction communication before being communicated over the computer network to the desired application.

16. The computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the software further causes the foreign operator processor to receive a transaction communication communicated over the computer network from a home application associated with the home user and hosted by the home operator processor.

17. The computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein:

the foreign trading network comprises a foreign user; and

the desired application is used collaboratively by the foreign user and the home user to at least partially complete the business transaction.
