Distinctions and overlaps

Operability and interoperability. [To be drafted] See Operability cross-reference note: 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. [To be drafted]

Operability and grid architecture. Architectural frameworks such as SGAM and SGIRM define the structural layers and interfaces of the grid; operability addresses how that structure performs under real operating conditions. [To be drafted] See Networks & Grids.
