10. © 2004 – Fairfax County Government - DIT Types of Interoperability Application Level Agencies or organizations use the same application to perform the same business functions. Shared applications are useful if the application is built specifically with that purpose in mind. Example: WebEOC has a "checkbox" to mark "significant events" that are then shared regionally. A shared CAD system would represent application level interoperability provided it is designed to accommodate multiple agency operations with separate event resourcing and tracking Data Level Agencies or organizations use standards-based technologies to share specific data elements in specific ways. Example: CAD-to-CAD data level interoperability would include the ability to “push” event and resource data from one CAD system to another CAD system in order to enable another organization to “pull” an event into it’s CAD system. Portal Level Portals enable communities of interest to share data that is of relevance to each through a common interface or portal. Portal level interoperability provides the option to offer several services via a single portal and to address multiple communities of interest that may have an overarching goal such as homeland security. Portals bring streams of data to particular communities of interest and enable filtering, chat functions and other tools and capabilities to used against the data stream. Portal level interoperability relies on standards-based data level interoperability.
