User: Interoperability:

Weegy: Interoperability has different meanings for different contexts. A common context is within a particular computer system, such as a personal computer, or over a network connection (net-centric interoperability). [ Other contexts might involve physical connections such as mounting connections for cameras and strobe lights, standard tow hitch receivers and balls, or business processes such as real estate listings, stock exchanges, or even recognition of driver's licences, marriage/birth certificates, or passports from other jurisdictions. A taxonomy of different contexts for interoperability would be a useful starting point, but this is likely to take years to develop consensus on. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_does_interoperability_mean ]
