Interoperable Standards

Interoperable standards are agreed-upon guidelines that enable different systems, devices, or applications to work together effectively. Think of it like a common language that allows products from various manufacturers to communicate and exchange information seamlessly. For example, when you use a USB cable, it can connect a range of devices—like your phone, printer, or camera—because they all adhere to the same USB standard. By having interoperable standards, businesses and consumers benefit from greater compatibility, flexibility, and innovation, making it easier to share and access information across different technologies.
