Definition/short description
Interoperability is the term for connecting people, data and systems.
For more information about this subject, see the corresponding Wikipedia article.
The eGIF initiative [1] is probably the largest and most comprehensive interoperability framework in the context of eGovernment. It was launched in the UK and it is a detailed description of formats for messages, services, metadata, connectivity protocols and even content. The eGMS metadataformats, for example, were designed to accomodate the specific requirements of local authorities on top of Dublin Core, after the initial launch of the egovernment programme by the the UK e-Envoy office in the late nineties. The Greek government and the New Zealand government are still developing strong eGIF initiatives, sometimes under the name eGIF2.
Other examples of interoperability frameworks are SAGA in the UK and NORA in the Netherlands. The best quantitative examples of formal information exchange are often found at National Tax offices for obvious reasons
