| | Interoperability (Linktionary term) |
 | | Interoperability is the opposite of vendor proprietary solutions, which were pervasive in the days of IBM mainframe and minicomputer systems. | | | Interoperability describes how different computer systems, networks, operating systems, and applications work together and share information. | | | Application interoperability was achieved across platforms with client/server computing and Web technologies. |

| | Reusable Learning Interoperability |
| | 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. | | | The interoperability of a digital learning resource is the degree to which it can run properly on multiple systems and can successfully be used in its potential audience’s computing and learning environments. | | | 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. |

| | Research questions in the area of geographic information interoperability deal with the interchange of spatial data held in incompatible or proprietary systems and with exchange standards, geographic data semantics, metadata (information about the data), and the development of formal knowledgebased integrated languages for communicating between domainspecific systems. | | | GIS interoperability (GISI) problems span several disciplines, require knowledgeintensive approaches leading to intelligent tools, and require a formal approach to modeling and managing the semantics of geographic information science. | | | Information systems and distributed database systems pose problems of interoperability that are related but differ in important ways. |

| | Interoperability becomes a quality of increasing importance for information technology products as the concept that "The network is the computer" becomes a reality. | | | 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. | | | As outlined above, there are several aspects to consider in moving towards interoperability, of which the most usually cited one of technology is normally the most straightforward to solve. |

| | Interoperability |
| | Interoperability is a key concept in the hybrid library which depends upon integration of information resources presented in different formats. | | | Griffin (1997) suggests that interoperability must also be achieved in other dimensions - time (from old to new systems), language (multilingual) and syntax (searching across heterogeneous repositories and services). | | | The ROADS Project which developed a set of software tools to enable the set up and maintenance of web-based subject gateways, included work on interoperability and metadata. |

| | 2. History and development of OAI-PMH |
| | Two key interoperability problems were identified as impairing the impact of e-print archives: end users were faced with multiple search interfaces making resource discovery harder, and there was no machine-based way of sharing the metadata. | | | Early movers were developing separate solutions, but the need for interoperability was recognised. | | | However, little or no autonomous metadata sharing was supported across this diverse environment, and still further separate initiatives in the area of new means of scholarly communication were taking shape. |

| | The Samba software, which allows systems that are not running Microsoft Windows systems to share files with systems that are, is a classic example of software reverse engineering, since the Samba project had to reverse-engineer unpublished information about how Windows file sharing worked, so that non-Windows computers could emulate it. | | | Reverse engineering software or hardware systems for the purposes of interoperability, for example in order to support undocumented file formats or hardware peripherals, is mostly believed to be legal, though patent owners often aggressively pursue their patents. | | | Other purposes of reverse engineering include security auditing, removal of copy protection ("cracking"), circumvention of access restrictions often present in consumer electronics, pure curiosity and customization of embedded systems, for example engine management systems. |
