Capabilities - Interoperability Backbone 2

Interoperability Backbone continued

What if another responder organization has a different communications system than our organization? Can we still communicate using DMIS software?

Yes! Any system that renders itself "DMIS-enabled" by developing its side of the interface to the DMIS Interoperability Backbone can share information with the DMIS Tools and with any other DMIS-enabled system "plugged in" to the Backbone. DMIS publishes the interface specifications used by external systems developers to "build their plug." Some systems have built their side of the interface in less than 2 weeks.

DMIS tools and services are exposed to cooperating non-DMIS applications using open standards based Web-Services interfaces.
