Semantic interoperability Interoperability
beyond ability of 2 or more computer systems exchange information, semantic interoperability ability automatically interpret information exchanged meaningfully , accurately in order produce useful results defined end users of both systems. achieve semantic interoperability, both sides must refer common information exchange reference model. content of information exchange requests unambiguously defined: sent same understood. possibility of promoting result user-driven convergence of disparate interpretations of same information has been object of study research prototypes such s3db.
