The MIMOSA/OpenO&M RESTful Services Working Group has released the ISBM 2.0 specification which incorporates new REST/JSON interfaces to complement the original SOAP-based Web Services. To ease implementation, an OpenAPI definition of the RESTful services accompanies the specification alongside the (updated) SOAP WSDL descriptions.
Apart from a slight name change (formerly ‘ws-ISBM’, the ‘ws’ was dropped as it is historically related to SOAP Web Services), other new features include:
- new configuration service to allow querying of configuration parameters to ensure clients can communicate with an ISBM instance correctly; and
- a more detailed look at security considerations, laying the groundwork for future revisions of the specification which will focus on improving the configuration and implementation of inter-enterprise connections.
The new specification is published by the OpenO&M initiative (under the MIMOSA license agreement) and is available at OpenOAndM.org .
