Text of the page (random words):
to purchase land in country b the person will be asked to submit the proper address data address data in both countries include full name details street name and number as well as a postal code the order of the address details might vary in the same language it is not an obstacle to order the provided address data but across language barriers it becomes difficult if the language uses a different writing system it is almost impossible if no translation tools are available flood risk management edit interoperability is used by researchers in the context of urban flood risk management 5 cities and urban areas worldwide are expanding which creates complex spaces with many interactions between the environment infrastructure and people to address this complexity and manage water in urban areas appropriately a system of systems approach to water and flood control is necessary in this context interoperability is important to facilitate system of systems thinking and is defined as the ability of any water management system to redirect water and make use of other system s to maintain or enhance its performance function during water exceedance events 6 by assessing the complex properties of urban infrastructure systems particularly the interoperability between the drainage systems and other urban systems e g infrastructure such as transport it could be possible to expand the capacity of the overall system to manage flood water towards achieving improved urban flood resilience 7 military forces edit force interoperability is defined in nato as the ability of the forces of two or more nations to train exercise and operate effectively together in the execution of assigned missions and tasks additionally nato defines interoperability more generally as the ability to act together coherently effectively and efficiently to achieve allied tactical operational and strategic objectives 8 at the strategic level interoperability is an enabler for coalition building it facilitates meaningful contributions by coalition partners at this level interoperability issues center on harmonizing world views strategies doctrines and force structures interoperability is an element of coalition willingness to work together over the long term to achieve and maintain shared interests against common threats interoperability at the operational and tactical levels is where strategic interoperability and technological interoperability come together to help allies shape the environment manage crises and win wars the benefits of interoperability at the operational and tactical levels generally derive from the interchangeability of force elements and units technological interoperability reflects the interfaces between organizations and systems it focuses on communications and computers but also involves the technical capabilities of systems and the resulting mission compatibility between the systems and data of coalition partners at the technological level the benefits of interoperability come primarily from their impacts at the operational and tactical levels in terms of enhancing flexibility 9 public safety edit interoperability is an important issue for law enforcement fire fighting ems and other public health and safety departments because first responders need to be able to communicate during wide scale emergencies it has been a major area of investment and research over the last 12 years 10 11 traditionally agencies could not exchange information because they operated widely disparate hardware that was incompatible 12 agencies information systems such as computer aided dispatch systems cad and records management systems rms functioned largely in isolation so called information islands agencies tried to bridge this isolation with inefficient stop gap methods while large agencies began implementing limited interoperable systems these approaches were inadequate and in the us the lack of interoperability in the public safety realm become evident during the 9 11 attacks 13 on the pentagon and world trade center structures further evidence of a lack of interoperability surfaced when agencies tackled the aftermath of the hurricane katrina disaster in contrast to the overall national picture some states including utah have already made great strides forward the utah highway patrol and other departments in utah have created a statewide data sharing network using technology from a company based in bountiful utah fatpot technologies the commonwealth of virginia is one of the leading states in the united states in improving interoperability and is continually recognized as a national best practice by the department of homeland security dhs citation needed virginia s proven practitioner driven governance structure ensures that all the right players are involved in decision making training and exercises and planning efforts citation needed the interoperability coordinator leverages a regional structure to better allocate grant funding around the commonwealth so that all areas have an opportunity to improve communications interoperability virginia s strategic plan for communications is updated yearly to include new initiatives for the commonwealth all projects and efforts are tied to this plan which is aligned with the national emergency communications plan authored by the department of homeland security s office of emergency communications oec the state of washington 14 seeks to enhance interoperability statewide the state interoperability executive committee 15 siec established by the legislature in 2003 works to assist emergency responder agencies police fire sheriff medical hazmat etc at all levels of government city county state tribal federal to define interoperability for their local region washington recognizes collaborating on system design and development for wireless radio systems enables emergency responder agencies to efficiently provide additional services increase interoperability and reduce long term costs this work saves the lives of emergency personnel and the citizens they serve the u s government is making an effort to overcome the nation s lack of public safety interoperability the department of homeland security s office for interoperability and compatibility oic is pursuing the safecom 16 and cadip and project 25 programs which are designed to help agencies as they integrate their cad and other it systems the oic launched cadip in august 2007 this project will partner the oic with agencies in several locations including silicon valley this program will use case studies to identify the best practices and challenges associated with linking cad systems across jurisdictional boundaries these lessons will create the tools and resources public safety agencies can use to build interoperable cad systems and communicate across local state and federal boundaries as regulator for interoperability edit governance entities can increase interoperability through their legislative and executive powers for instance in 2021 the european commission after commissioning two impact assessment studies and a technology analysis study proposed the implementation of a standardization for iterations of usb c of phone charger products which may increase interoperability along with convergence and convenience for consumers while decreasing resource needs redundancy and electronic waste 17 18 19 commerce and industries edit information technology and computers edit desktop edit this section does not cite any sources please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources unsourced material may be challenged and removed march 2019 learn how and when to remove this template message the desktop interoperability also known as interop is a sub section of the software interoperability in the early days the focus of interop was to integrate web applications with other web applications over time open system containers were developed to create a virtual desktop environment in which these applications could be registered and then communicate with each other using simple pub sub patterns rudimentary ui capabilities were also supported allowing windows to be grouped with other windows today the desktop interoperability has evolved into full service interop platforms which include container support basic exchange between web and web but also native support for other application types and advanced window management the very latest interop platforms also include application services such as universal search notifications user permissions and preferences 3rd party application connectors and language adapters for in house applications information search edit search interoperability refers to the ability of two or more information collections to be searched by a single query specifically related to web based search the challenge of interoperability stems from the fact designers of web resources typically have little or no need to concern themselves with exchanging information with other web resources federated search technology which does not place format requirements on the data owner has emerged as one solution to search interoperability challenges in addition standards such as oai pmh rdf and sparql have emerged recently that also help address the issue of search interoperability related to web resources such standards also address broader topics of interoperability such as allowing data mining software edit interoperability playing the two role network game when one of the player clients top left runs under sun microsystems and another under gnu classpath with jamvm the applications execute the same bytecode and interoperate using the standard rmi iiop messages for communication main articles language interoperability and semantic interoperability with respect to software the term interoperability is used to describe the capability of different programs to exchange data via a common set of exchange formats to read and write the same file formats and to use the same protocols the ability to execute the same binary code on different processor platforms is not contemplated by the definition of interoperability the lack of interoperability can be a consequence of a lack of attention to standardization during the design of a program indeed interoperability is not taken for granted in the non standards based portion of the computing world 20 according to iso iec 2382 01 information technology vocabulary fundamental terms interoperability is defined as follows the capability to communicate execute programs or transfer data among various functional units in a manner that requires the user to have little or no knowledge of the unique characteristics of those units 21 note that the definition is somewhat ambiguous because the user of a program can be another program and if the latter is a portion of the set of program that is required to be interoperable it might well be that it does need to have knowledge of the characteristics of other units this definition focuses on the technical side of interoperability while it has also been pointed out by whom that interoperability is often more of an organizational issue often interoperability has a significant impact on the organizations concerned raising issues of ownership do people want to share their data or are they dealing with information silos labor relations are people prepared to undergo training and usability in this context a more apt definition is captured in the term business process interoperability interoperability can have important economic consequences for example research has estimated the cost of inadequate interoperability in the u s capital facilities industry to be 15 8 billion a year 22 if competitors products are not interoperable due to causes such as patents trade secrets or coordination failures the result may well be monopoly or market failure for this reason it may be prudent for user communities or governments to take steps to encourage interoperability in various situations at least 30 international bodies and countries have implemented egovernment based interoperability framework initiatives called e gif while in the united states there is the niem initiative 23 standards defining organizations sdos provide open public software specifications to facilitate interoperability examples include the oasis open organization and buildingsmart formerly the international alliance for interoperability as far as user communities neutral third party is creating standards for business process interoperability another example of a neutral party is the rfc documents from the internet engineering task force ietf the oslc 24 open service for lifecycle collaboration community is working on finding a common standard in order that software tools can share and exchange data e g bugs tasks requirements etc the final goal is to agree on an open standard for interoperability of open source alm tools 25 java is a great example of an interoperable programming language that allows for programs to be written once and run anywhere with a java virtual machine 26 better source needed one writing a program in java so long as it does not use system specific functionality will maintain interoperability with all machines that have a java virtual machine there are many implementations of the java virtual machine such as oracle ibm android etc if a java virtual machine is created to specification applications will maintain compatibility because while the implementation is different the underlying language interfaces are the same 27 achieving software edit software interoperability is achieved through five interrelated ways product testing products produced to a common standard or to a sub profile thereof depend on the clarity of the standards but there may be discrepancies in their implementations that system or unit testing may not uncover this requires that systems formally be tested in a production scenario as they will be finally implemented to ensure they actually will intercommunicate as advertised i e they are interoperable interoperable product testing is different from conformance based product testing as conformance to a standard does not necessarily engender interoperability with another product which is also tested for conformance product engineering implements the common standard or a sub profile thereof as defined by the industry community partnerships with the specific intention of achieving interoperability with other software implementations also following the same standard or sub profile thereof industry community partnership industry community partnerships either domestic or international sponsor standard workgroups with the purpose to define a common standard that may be used to allow software systems to intercommunicate for a defined purpose at times an industry community will sub profile an existing standard produced by another organization to reduce options and thus making interoperability more achievable for impleme...
