Shared records

Livestock Animal, recorded under Animal

The farm's records of its cows use the dictionary entry Livestock Animal. The vet's records of its patients use the entry Animal. The shared dictionary records that a Livestock Animal is a kind of Animal. Neither entry was changed or replaced. This is native interoperability: the vet's system reads the farm's cows with no translation between the two words.

What you will see

  1. The farm's entry Livestock Animal says that it is a kind of Animal.
  2. The vet's entry Animal opens from the vet's own patient.
  3. The farm's cows are in the vet's list of patients.

What this shows about Technology DNA

  • The farm's cows are in the vet's list because the farm shares them with the vet.
  • Each system keeps its own word. The dictionary records how the two words relate.
