The Pragmatic Evaluation of Tool System Interoperability

چکیده

Collaborative communities are increasingly supported by systems of information and communication tools. Much current research and development focuses on the technical and semantic aspects of tool system interoperability. However, for developing effective tool systems, their pragmatic evaluation is also essential. This implies that the usage context of tools is taken into account. In this paper, we envision an approach to the pragmatic evaluation of tool system interoperability. Its main elements are a conceptualization of the tool system, its usage context, and an evaluation processs. With these basic elements, pragmatic evaluation can be operationalized in many different ways. We illustrate our approach with several real-world examples.
