Interoperability

The European Interoperability Framework: https://ec.europa.eu/isa2/sites/default/files/eif_brochure_final.pdf

describes an interoperability model that is geared toward the public sector. Its describes a "stack" of interoperability subjects.

As a general model it is useful to describe issues and solutions.

The BDI has a focus on a wide generic technical interoperability between entities, supporting specialized/differentiated:

• semantic interoperability

• organisational interoperability

• legal interoperability

The world model is that market forces, geo politics, regulation, culture and innovation will create a dynamic universe of sectors/groups that have an interest in driving specilalized/differentiated interoperability within their group, at the expense of interoperability with other sectors.

Technical Interoperability

The design philisophy to enhance generic technical interoperability is based upon:

• No proprietary development of protocols

  • Reuse known, proven or emerging open standards in a specific configuration

• Rely on already supported digital identities and other digital proofs of claims
