This paper only considers the elements which characterizes the level of application interoperability taken in account in the TerreGov project. We present the main requirements for a real interoperability of applications. As it is demonstrated by an actual scenario, the key point of application interoperability is the dynamic discovery of services. This relies on semantic descriptions of services and semantic engines exploiting this information for discovering services. The glue of these elements is, in backend, a domain ontology rich enough for allowing adequate service descriptions. Then, we describe an experimentation, which illustrates a solution of the use case presented in the scenario. We conclude showing how our experimentation could be enlarged efficiently.
