Without standards, Facebook and Twitter's cards can't interoperate, leaving only headaches for developers trying to support each service's own implementation.
Last year, Microsoft announced that its consumer-facing Skype communications service and its enterprise-focused counterpart would begin to interoperate, first with IM and audio, and later expanding to support video.
To support this data exchange among software, the capacity of tools to interoperate has been widely improved over the last ten years by software integrations.
Microsoft says the deal was intended to make sure its products could interoperate with Unix systems without intellectual property violations, though the company's critics regard it as a cynical ploy to support SCO's anti-Linux campaign.
A standard semantic format will: allow tools, (e.g. GUIs) to operate on the input and output of any code supporting the format, vastly increasing their utility and range, enable different codes to interoperate to create complex workflows, additionally, if a semantic model underlies the format, data can easily be validated.

CTS consists of four system components, which interoperate to improve communications and event response efficiency while still functioning independently, recognizing the unique requirements and use cases for each system.
To enable the components to interoperate, the data need to be converted in order to meet the expectations of each component.
To interoperate, components have to agree on the syntax and semantics of the operations they require and provide together with the associated input and output data.
