Information interoperability and information standardisation for NATO C2 - a practical approach
conference paper
Interoperability between information systems is usually 'achieved' by enabling connection at network level. Making systems really interoperable, by letting them understand and manipulate the exchanged information, requires a lot more. Above all, information standards are needed in order to gain common understanding about what will be exchanged. Besides that, information standardisation should be considered from a global point of view, taking into account the whole range of systems that will potentially exchange information for a certain purpose. The importance and complexity of information standards are often underestimated. Gaining efficient and effective interoperability starts with thinking about information standadisation in its totality first.
