Web interoperability means producing web pages viewable in standard compatible web browser s, various operating system s such as Microsoft Windows Windows , Macintosh and Linux and devices such as Personal computer PC , Personal digital assistant PDA and mobile phone based on the latest web standards . History This term was originated by the http www.w3.org Promotion WIP Web Interoperability Pledge that is a promise to adhere to current HTML Recommendations as promulgated by the World Wide Web Consortium W3C . The WIP was not a W3C initiative. but it was started by and has been run by ZDNet AnchorDesk quite independently. This issue was known by cross browsing in Browser wars browser war between Internet Explorer and Netscape . Windows Internet Explorer was the dominant browser after that, but modern web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox , Opera web browser Opera and Safari web browser Safari have supported web standards. Because of backward compatibility of Internet Explorer, many web pages has supported non standard HTML tags and DOM handling script yet as well platform dependent techniques such as ActiveX .

Unreferenced date January 2009 Business process interoperability BPI is a property referring to the ability of diverse business process es to work together, to so called inter operate . It is a state that exists when a business process can meet a specific objective automation automatically utilizing essential human labor only. Typically, BPI is present when a process conforms to standardization standards that enable it to achieve its objective regardless of ownership, location, make, version or design of the computer system s used. Overview The main attraction of BPI is that a business process can start and finish at any point worldwide regardless of the types of hardware and software required to automate it. Because of its capacity to offload human mind labor, BPI is considered by many as the final stage in the evolution of business computing.
