¶ Interoperability Layer
The Interoperability Layer in Fuse enables intelligent, secure collaboration between systems, users, AI, and services — not just by exchanging data, but by sharing meaning, policy, identity, and governance across domains.
It represents the highest level of execution maturity in the Fuse platform.
¶ Overview
Interoperability in Fuse means:
Systems don’t just connect — they cooperate intentionally
Domains coordinate actions with shared context and policy awareness
Trust, security, and identity persist across workflows, orchestrations, and automations
Governance, auditability, and compliance are native, not bolt-on
Fuse moves organizations beyond integration and automation — into true composable digital ecosystems.
¶ Key Capabilities
- Token Orchestration and Chaining — Govern trust, scopes, and access rights across domains and runtimes
- Context Propagation — Maintain runtime meaning, policy context, and identity attributes across system boundaries
- Policy Enforcement at Execution Time — Apply dynamic risk checks, access rules, or compliance requirements during flow execution
- Audit and Traceability — Monitor and record interactions across humans, systems, AI models, and services
- Domain Coordination — Enable UI, Security, AI, Messaging, Workflow, and Storage domains to collaborate with meaning
- Cross-Domain Recovery — Resilient fallback and compensation strategies across distributed flows
Fuse treats interoperability as governance + execution + trust — woven together at runtime.
¶ Interoperability vs. Integration
| Concept | Integration Layer | Interoperability Layer |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Data exchange between systems | Shared context, trust, and governance |
| Type | Syntactic (data formats) | Semantic (meaning, policy, identity) |
| Scope | Point-to-point or system-to-system | Multi-domain, cross-layer, user-system-AI |
| Error Handling | Basic retries or manual remediation | Governed fallback, dynamic escalation, audit trails |
¶ Domains Powered by Interoperability
In Fuse, interoperability enables:
- Security Domain — Federated trust, scoped token orchestration
- Workflow Domain — Context-aware approval chains and escalation paths
- UI Domain — Role-adaptive interfaces and session propagation
- Intelligence Domain — AI collaboration with explainable outputs and dynamic routing
- Messaging Domain — Event-driven, policy-compliant notifications across systems
- Storage Domain — Secure content access, audit, and context-aware resource injection
Every domain participates in interoperability — ensuring full system, human, and AI coordination.
¶ Real-World Examples
Regulatory Compliance Flows — Data masking and approval policies dynamically applied across multi-system workflows
AI Assistant Orchestration — AI agents adapt behavior based on human decisions, token scopes, and session history
Cross-Org Identity Management — Fuse orchestrates workflows that span across multiple identity providers and role structures
¶ When to Focus on Interoperability
Move focus to the Interoperability Layer when:
- Multiple domains must share context securely and intelligently
- Security, identity, and policy enforcement must persist across flows
- AI, human, and system actions must collaborate with governance
- Cross-domain auditability and recovery must be built-in, not patched on
