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.

Topic notes
Editorial notes
Related pages to consult during drafting:
- Networks & Grids — grid architecture vs. grid operation distinction is already written there; avoid repetition, cross-reference instead
- Architectural frameworks (SGAM, SGIRM, GWAC) — covered in the Networks & Grids page; this page should address operational implications of those frameworks, not re-describe them
- Interoperability — closely related; clarify scope boundary between the two topics during drafting
