Abstract

In this paper, we seek to understand and explain what interoperability is, how it works and make a case for a formal theory of interoperability. Based on the study of existing definitions and approaches, we establish the necessary and sufficient conditions under which systems are interoperable and show that current approaches are semantically equivalent. Finally, we propose a set of objectives that a formal theory of interoperability should meet in order to be useful.
