Web interoperability means producing web pages viewable in standard compatible web browser s, various operating system s such as Microsoft Windows Windows , Macintosh and Linux and devices such as Personal computer PC , Personal digital assistant PDA and mobile phone based on the latest web standards . History This term was originated by the http www.w3.org Promotion WIP Web Interoperability Pledge that is a promise to adhere to current HTML Recommendations as promulgated by the World Wide Web Consortium W3C . The WIP was not a W3C initiative. but it was started by and has been run by ZDNet AnchorDesk quite independently. This issue was known by cross browsing in Browser wars browser war between Internet Explorer and Netscape . Windows Internet Explorer was the dominant browser after that, but modern web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox , Opera web browser Opera and Safari web browser Safari have supported web standards. Because of backward compatibility of Internet Explorer, many web pages has supported non standard HTML tags and DOM handling script yet as well platform dependent techniques such as ActiveX .

The Multilateral Interoperability Programme MIP is an effort to deliver an assured capability for interoperability of information to support multinational, combined and joint operations. The MIP goal is to support all levels from corps to battalion. MIP s focus is on command and control systems. MIP is a consortium of 29 NATO and Non NATO nations that meet quarterly to define interoperability specifications for the exchange information between their national Command and Control systems. So what is MIP? The Multilateral Interoperability Programme referred to as MIP, is an interoperability organisation established by national Command and Control Information Systems C2IS developers with a requirement to share relevant Command and Control information in a multinational or coalition environment. As a result of collaboration within the programme, MIP produces a set of specifications which when implemented by the nations, provide the required interoperability capability. MIP provides a venue for system level interoperability testing of national MIP implementations as well as providing a forum for exchanging information relevant to national implementation and fielding plans to enable synchronization. MIP is NOT empowered to direct how nations develop their own C2IS. MIP Vision The vision for the Multilateral Interoperability Programme MIP is to become the principal operator led multinational forum to promote international interoperability of Command and Control Information Systems C2IS at all levels of command. MIP Mission MIP is to further develop and improve interface specifications in order to reduce the interoperability gap between different C2IS.
