The data exists. The systems that hold it literally can't understand each other. And no one has the incentive to build the translator — because the cost is shared but the benefit goes to someone else.
Data Interoperability Across Organizational Boundaries
13 problems across 11 domains · v3: 5 → v4: 13 → v5: 8 → v6: 13
Shared Structural DNA
These 13 problems share the same invisible barrier: data exists in separate organizational systems with incompatible formats, and no single organization has the incentive to fix it. At 500 briefs, five new members expanded the cluster from 8 to 13 — government legacy IT spanning five decades of schema incompatibility, logistics supply chains with 40+ document formats, clinical trial data fragmented across sponsors and regulators, utility grid vendor lock-in, and multimodal freight tracking. The installed-base prevalence rose to 62%: vendor lock-in and legacy system incompatibility are major drivers. The transfer story is stronger than ever: health informatics' HL7 FHIR standard succeeded by allowing gradual, modular adoption. Every field represented here needs its own FHIR.
