interworking
<standard> Systems or components, possibly from different origins,
working together to perform some task. Interworking depends crucially on
standards to define the interfaces between the components. The term implies that
there is some difference between the components which, in the absence of common
standards, would make it unlikely that they could be used together. For example,
software from different companies, running on different hardware and operating
systems can interwork via standard network protocols.
