I would be interested in capturing such an interesting scenario
for research purposes - and evaluate feasibility of mapping the
different legacy system you are referring to identify where
interoperability may be possible, and where not (02)
Ultimately, it is like translating between different languages and
cultures, this today is done routinely in many other domains, using
different frameworks (03)
Do you have some documentation/reference that I can look up? (04)
