What is Data Interoperability?

Data Interoperability refers to the ability of different information systems, devices, and applications (systems) to access, exchange, integrate, and cooperatively use data in a coordinated manner, without the need for manual intervention or complex conversions. It is commonly used to facilitate data sharing between different departments within an organization, across organizations, or between different software applications. It is critical for achieving a holistic view of data, improving decision-making, and streamlining business processes. Examples include using standard data formats, APIs, and middleware to connect disparate systems.
