attention and penetrate the mindset of those involved
in this area and should be taken into account when
implementing and researching in the area of IS
interoperability.
Additional reflections and discussion are needed,
and future work should be done in order to
understand the value of each of those assertions and
their consequences for IS interoperability
practitioners and researches communities.
