Evidence for how interoperability emerges

Papers, standards contributions and notes on how semantic interoperability emerges in real ecosystems.

Featured framework

EVIDENT

A formal framework for measuring semantic convergence in governed ecosystems. Interoperability emerges when many systems keep making consistent design choices. EVIDENT turns those choices into indicators anyone can recount from the published models: imports, references and adoption in production.
