Interoperability: The ability of databases, devices, or systems to talk with each other, exchanging information or queries. In some cases, interoperable databases or systems may be directly connected, allowing for the real-time exchange or updating of information; in others, databases or systems may be interoperable via a trusted third-party exchange layer that facilitates communication across disparate systems.

(World Bank Group and GPFI, 2018, p. viii)
