Australian Government Technical Interoperability Framework
AGIMO acts as the focal point for managing and updating the Technical Interoperability Framework which has been developed in close consultation with key Australian Government agencies.
The Framework addresses only the 'technical' domain but supports information and business process interoperability. It sets out a common language, conceptual model and standards that Australian Government agencies can employ as a basis for interoperating.
The Standards Catalogue identifies standards for:
- Security
- Interconnection
- Data exchange
- Discovery
- Presentation
- Metadata for Process and Data Description
- Naming
