Unpacking Interoperability
Channel: Australian Research Data Commons - ARDC

Interoperability is one of the four pillars of the FAIR principles, but it can be one of the more difficult aspects of FAIR to achieve.

“Data interoperability addresses the ability of systems and services that create, exchange and consume data to have clear, shared expectations for the contents, context and meaning of that data.” (http://datainteroperability.org)

The FAIR principles refer to the interoperability of both data and metadata, and mentions vocabularies, shared languages for knowledge representation, and qualified reference to metadata. What does this all mean, and how does it work in practice?

In this webinar we unpack just what interoperability means, talk about why it’s so useful, and how it can be done in practice.
