From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  interworking
       
           Systems or components, possibly from different
          origins, working together to perform some task.  Interworking
          depends crucially on {standards} to define the {interfaces}
          between the components.  The term implies that there is some
          difference between the components which, in the absence of
          common standards, would make it unlikely that they could be
          used together.  For example, {software} from different
          companies, running on different {hardware} and {operating
          systems} can interwork via standard network {protocols}.
