MIMOSA is hosting an OpenO&M Joint Working Group to update the OpenO&M ISBM Specification, which was developed under the umbrella of the OpenO&M Initiative. This work is being done in coordination with the ISA-95 and IEC 62264 MSM Specifications, with the intent of maintaining alignment, while also addressing new functional and non-functional requirements being introduced by the on-going OIIE OGI Pilot. The objective is sustaining a consistent IT connectivity specification for key intra and inter-enterprise asset life-cycle management activities included in the OIIE. While the original specifications largely focused on SOAP and XML, OIIE Use Cases are now beginning to incorporate RESTful architecture, other data formats such as JSON and additional protocols. Interested parties should contact Alan Johnston.
