29 Examine the continuum by starting at the left side, which represents the lowest level of integration and interoperability, and move progressively toward the right side of the presentation where there are higher levels of integration and inter operability. Interoperability as a concept is divided into five distinct components: • Governance • Standard operating procedures • Technology • Training and Exercises • Usage The continuum is a useful guide when envisioning communication strategies used during a prospective pipeline emergency.
