👉 Companion IOR, or Interoperability Oriented Resource, is a standardized format used to describe and manage data across different systems and platforms, ensuring seamless interoperability. It acts as a metadata layer that provides detailed information about the structure, content, and relationships of data assets, enabling systems to understand and exchange data more effectively. Companion IORs are typically defined using XML or JSON and include elements like resource identifiers, data types, and references to other resources, facilitating integration and data sharing in diverse environments such as healthcare, finance, and government services.
