About interoperability • EU Commission through IDABC (Interoperable Delivery of European eGovernment Services to public Administrations, Businesses and Citizens) • The aspects of interoperability identified as being in need of consideration by the European Interoperability Framework v.1.0 (EIF) are: Organizational, Semantic and Technical interoperability (EIF, section 2.1.2) • For buildingSMART this corresponds to IDM, IFD Library and IFC
About interoperability • Beyond the ability of two or more computer systems to exchange information, semantic interoperability is the ability to automatically interpretthe information exchangedmeaningfully and accurately in order to produce useful results as defined by the end users of both systems. • Meaning of language, definitions… • Terms and the relationship between terms …
