Interoperability Working Group

Charter:
The Interoperability Working Group defines testing methodologies for implementation agreements, carries out proofs of concept, evaluates multi-vendor interoperability and contributes technical leadership for interoperability trials. Interoperability test criteria are extracted from implementation agreements, and methods are defined with support of the source technical working group. Where possible the group reuses or leverages the work of standards groups or forums. This working group is not chartered to certify conformance to implementation agreements. Results of interoperability testing are communicated to appropriate OIF working groups and standards groups or forums.
