The Metaverse, a pivotal element of the digital revolution, holds transformative potential for industries and lifestyles. Yet, skepticism persists, with concerns that enthusiasm may outstrip technological progress. Interoperability is a key obstacle, as highlighted by a CoinMarketCap report (February 2023) noting over 240 isolated Metaverse initiatives. Despite agreement on its importance, systematic research on interoperability remains scarce. This study bridges the gap through a systematic literature review, using content analysis on Web of Science and Scopus databases, identifying 74 relevant publications. Interoperability lacks a standardized definition, varying by context, while the Metaverse is broadly seen as a digital ecosystem. Urs Gasser's framework for digital ecosystem interoperability—spanning technological, data, human, and institutional dimensions—guides our analysis. By applying this framework across three identified layers, we provide a comprehensive overview of Metaverse interoperability research, establishing benchmarks to advance scholarly exploration in this complex field.
虚拟世界是数字革命的关键元素，具有改变行业和生活方式的潜力。然而，怀疑依然存在，人们担心热情可能会超过技术进步。正如CoinMarketCap报告（2023年2月）所强调的那样，互操作性是一个关键障碍，该报告指出了240多个孤立的元宇宙计划。尽管人们对互操作性的重要性达成了共识，但对互操作性的系统研究仍然很少。本研究通过系统的文献综述，利用Web of Science和Scopus数据库的内容分析，确定了74份相关出版物，弥补了这一差距。互操作性缺乏标准化定义，因环境而异，而Metaverse被广泛视为数字生态系统。Urs Gasser的数字生态系统互操作性框架——跨越技术、数据、人和制度维度——指导了我们的分析。通过跨三个确定的层应用此框架，我们提供了对元宇宙互操作性研究的全面概述，建立了基准，以推进这一复杂领域的学术探索。
