Distinctions and overlaps

Operability and interoperability — interoperability concerns the ability of components and systems to exchange meaningful information; operability concerns how the system as a whole performs its functions in real time. These are related but distinct.

Operability and grid architecture — architectural frameworks such as SGAM define the structural layers and interfaces of the grid; operability addresses how that structure performs under real operating conditions.
