Modeling the structure of interoperability by means of structural consistency

The initial syntactic level of interoperability involves communication with the appropriate protocol, hardware, software, and necessary level of data compatibility. The work is devoted to the study of the level of compatibility of data describing interacting elements based on the feature vector. To do this, a model of structural correspondence is proposed which allows assessing the tendency to establish interoperability. Modeling structural interoperability based on the analysis of signs of connections using the introduced consistency criterion leads to finding the closest consonant pre-image to the original set. The found consonant pre-image with its subsets indicates the preferred grouping of elements in which the interoperability between them is established with the least mismatch with respect to the fixed signs of connections. Since the elements under consideration are described by a vector of parameters, from the comparison of which one can infer the similarity between the elements, respectively, the presence of elements in the same subset indicates a potential motivation for interoperability.
