	Interoperability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		With respect to software, the term interoperability is used to describe the capability of different programs to exchange data via a common set of business procedures, and to read and write the same file formats and use the same protocols.
		Indeed, interoperability is not taken for granted in the non-standards-based portion of the computing and EDP world.
		Interoperability tends to be regarded as an issue for experts and its implications for daily living are sometimes underrated.

	Executive E-Mail: Bill Gates on Interoperability (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Interoperability is more pragmatic than other approaches, such as attempting to make all systems compatible at the code level, focusing solely on adding new layers of middleware that try to make all systems look and act the same, or seeking to make different systems interchangeable.
		For example, interoperability is sometimes viewed merely as adherence to a published specification of some kind, either from one or more vendors or a standards organization.
		This successful approach to interoperability stems in large part from Microsoft’s heritage as a personal computer company: we have always put a lot of emphasis on well-defined mechanisms for how different products from different companies interact, because of the incredible diversity of PC hardware and software.

	The EA Glossary: Interoperability
		Interoperability means the ability of information and communication technology (ICT) systems and of the business processes they support to exchange data and to enable sharing of information and knowledge.
		Interoperability, which means achieving the required coherence in the most effective way, can thus be seen as the most important key for e-government.
		Interoperability is the ability of a system or process to use information and/or functionality of another system or process by adhering to common standards.

	Reusable Learning \| Interoperability (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Interoperability is defined by the IEEE Standard Computing Dictionary (IEEE, 1990) as "the ability of two or more systems or components to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged.” From the user perspective, interoperability is the ability of systems to work together, to “plug and play” without any hassles.
		Interoperability for a raw media file means the ability of others to open it, possibly edit it, and certainly display it.
		Interoperability for a course refers to its ability to run in a variety of learning environments as well as to the ability of an instructor to modify or select parts of its contents for reuse.

	Main Articles: 'Interoperability', Ariadne Issue 24
		Semantic interoperability presents a host of issues, all of which become more pronounced as individual resources — each internally constructed in their own (hopefully) semantically consistent fashion — are made available through 'gateways' and 'portals' such as those from the Archaeology Data Service [13], SCRAN [14], or the UK Government [15].
		By joining the trend towards interoperation and openness, resource holders gain the ability both to better utilise their own information internally, and to become visible to an increasingly sophisticated user community, no longer satisfied with ringing up, writing to, physically visiting, or working on-line with the proprietary interfaces of a host of providers.
		Being seen to "be interoperable" is becoming increasingly important to a wide range of organisations, including central and local government, the back-end administrative systems underpinning the work of our universities, museums and their collection management systems, and the catalogues of the major publishing houses.

	Interoperability
		For example, when communications systems are interoperable, police and firefighters responding to a routine incident can talk to each other to coordinate efforts.
		There are a variety of challenges to interoperability: some are technical, some financial, and some stem from human factors such as inadequate planning and lack of awareness of the real importance of interoperability.
		It is important to understand that the process of achieving national interoperability may take up to two decades, but important interim measures which move locales, states, and the nation toward that goal are already in place.

		Interoperability is the ability of different information technology systems, software applications and networks to communicate, to exchange data accurately, effectively and consistently, and to use the information that has been exchanged.
		From a policy perspective, a definition of interoperability is useful so that lawmakers and other policy-making officials can have a consistent working definition to use in their deliberations.
		Interoperability relies on two types of agreements: the information to be shared, and also what standards will be employed to convey the information and accomplish the sharing.

	Interoperability
		In many buildings interoperability means that the front-end controls for the various systems in the building all terminate in the same room.
		It would be nice if all devices used a common communication protocol, but reality is that with the large number of legacy devices worldwide, plus the many different protocols available today, a single common protocol is not usually a choice.
		Interoperability is no longer a dream of the future; it is here today.

		Interoperability is probably one of the most misused terms in the IT industry in these days.
		I personally think that creating a two-dimensional matrix of levels of interoperability and layers in the network stack are quite helpful when trying to improve interoperability at higher levels.
		There is however a tendency that - eventually - the level of interoperability on a given level increases, as time passes by the different implementation of a syntax-centric protocol converge.
