Three agencies must exchange permit status without growing a web of brittle point-to-point feeds. What interoperability architecture move best reduces that sprawl?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Point-to-point feeds are like every house digging its own private tunnel to every neighbor—soon you have a maze. Shared interfaces and standards are the public road: partners plug into common contracts instead of inventing a new tunnel each time.
Full Explanation
Interoperability architecture reduces integration chaos by defining shared interfaces, message or API contracts, and exchange standards that multiple parties can reuse. Point-to-point couplings multiply mapping cost and fragility as partners grow. Designing to common contracts concentrates change at the boundary and supports consistent permit-status exchange across agencies.
