Abstract

Real-world systems scarcely keep data limited to the small spaces where they were first acquired. Interoperability has been deemed highly valuable in many cases. In this new era, it is difficult to harmonize the data in an environment during its transfer and identify the processes that result in more democratic data while stopping the flow of insufficient data at the beginning of the transfer to obtain one golden copy of the authentic interoperable data. This article conducted a detailed survey discussing a detailed taxonomy, advantages and challenges of interoperability and cutting-edge methods for promoting interoperability among various current approaches. So, we will extend the research to collect issues of the available interoperability models and frameworks adopted in industry concerning to the Internet of Things (IoT), physical and industry 4.0, cloud, health care, public health care, context -ware, Systems-of-Systems (SoS), Systems of Information Systems (SoIS), large scale systems. Finally, the paper presents the most common issues and potential future deployments in the scope.
