The Interoperability specification viewpoint models the most salient Architecture Building Blocks that shall be considered when providing interoperability specifications. It provides an overview of Architecture Building Blocks from the different views, and depicts them as a taxonomy of interoperability specifications. Each EIRA© view has Architecture Building Blocks that support interoperability.
Each view’s interoperability specifications serve to define the interoperability aspects of catalogues and registries, addressing both their contents and the respective catalogue or registry as a whole. Given the linked nature of the EIRA©’s views, the interoperability specifications from all views can be considered to affect each individual catalogue or registry. However, the focus in each case is kept within the specific view to best capture the level of detail that each view’s specifications deal with.
