The article describes in four exemples various co-operative interconnection arrangements that have been set up by INSPEC, in the fields of physics and electrotechnology. One example gives details of the successful interlinking between a centralised production system and the decentralised INIS operation, While in the second some of the pitfalls that have to be overcome in creating compatibility between organisations producing similar services are detailed. The remaining case histories deal with interconnection arrangements between databases in differing languages and how ICSU-AB is attempting to help interconnection between abstracting and indexing services by providing an internationally agreed classification in physics as a bridge between French, German, American and British organisations.
