Agencies repeatedly remap the same citizen and organization attributes for every new interface. Which interoperability design reduces that pairwise cost?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If every agency invents its own word for ‘address,’ every handshake needs a translator. A canonical model at the boundary is the shared dictionary—map once to the common shape, then reuse it across interfaces.
Full Explanation
Canonical integration models define shared representations for commonly exchanged entities such as civic party attributes. At interoperability boundaries they reduce pairwise mapping cost because each system maps to the shared model rather than to every partner’s private schema. Consistent boundary semantics also improve data quality and change management across agencies.
