Dealing with the diversity of interoperability type: A Conceptual Model

 

Resumo do trabalho

 

Interoperability is a crucial non-functional requirement for current information systems since systems can collaborate, exchange information, and use the information that has been shared. Interoperability has many types, such as semantic, legal, cultural, and organizational. To characterize several information systems collaboration heterogeneity and barriers, several interoperability types arose.
However, several interoperability types are used distortedly, leading to ambiguity and preventing developers from having a comprehensive view of the interoperability requirements they hope to achieve.
We describe and classify the interoperability types reported in the scientific literature using a proposed conceptual model to support developers in identifying interoperability types required in a given collaboration between information systems.
We followed the design theory regarding the artifacts that contribute to the construction of IS.The conceptual model was specified based on evidence collected from the scientific literature. It comprises two diagrams that describe and classify the interoperability types. We conducted 28 an exploratory study with 27 information systems developers to validate the conceptual model. From the validation of the conceptual model, we had 92.6\% acceptance for the classification diagram, while the description diagram had 81.5\% acceptance.The research can help to comprehend how developers understand and use interoperability requirement specifications that require a particular interoperability type solution to be fulfilled in an information system.
