System (Semantic) Interoperability
Semantic Interoperability realtes to the ability of one computer system to communicate information and have that information properly interpreted by other computer systems. Importantly, these systems need to be able to do this whilst maintaining context (i.e. in the same sense as intended by the transmitting system). Semantic Interoperability requires that any interacting systems will arrive at the same meaning from the same information. Semantic Interoperability is also use in a more general sense, as the ability of any communicating entities (not only computers) to share unambiguous meaning. In this broader sense, the sender must be able to reliably transmit all sufficient and necessary information; the receiver must be able to correctly interpret its interlocutor; and both must be aware of, and agree upon, each other behaviors for given interactions.
