Interoperábban

Interoperábban is an adverb in Hungarian describing the ability of different information systems, organizations, or services to work together by exchanging and reusing information and capabilities. It denotes that components can interoperate across boundaries, platforms, and implementations, enabling seamless interaction.

Interoperability encompasses multiple dimensions: technical interoperability ensures compatible communication, data formats, and APIs; semantic interoperability ensures that exchanged data have the same meaning through shared vocabularies and ontologies; organizational interoperability covers governance, policies, and data-sharing agreements that allow collaboration.

Achieving interoperability relies on standards, open formats, and common interfaces. Examples include data exchange formats like XML, JSON or CSV, and domain-specific standards such as HL7 and FHIR in healthcare, or DICOM for medical imaging; in government and commerce, open standards and APIs enable cross-system service delivery. Testing and certification processes verify conformance and reliability.

Applications are widespread: e-government, healthcare, transport, and industrial ecosystems. Benefits include reduced duplication, faster service delivery, and improved data quality. Challenges include legacy systems, data quality, privacy, security, governance, and ensuring ongoing alignment with evolving standards.
