Interfaces exist across components in a system whether a single system or array of systems.
Interface definitions model the dynamic behavior between components including what one component provides another.
Protocol agnostic interface definitions provide the high level design and requirements for protocol specific interface specifications (e.g., RESTful web services).
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are commonly used in interface specifications.
