Interoperability is achieved through the implementation of standards, protocols, and technologies that enable different systems to communicate and share data effectively. Key approaches include:
Standardized Data Formats: Using standardized data formats like XML and JSON ensures that data can be easily exchanged and understood across different systems. APIs: Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) facilitate the integration of disparate systems by providing a set of rules and protocols for data exchange. Semantic Interoperability: Ensuring that the meaning of the data is preserved across systems through the use of ontologies and controlled vocabularies. Interoperable Platforms: Platforms designed with interoperability in mind, such as cloud-based solutions, enable seamless data sharing and collaboration.
