MIMOSA is hosting an OpenO&M Joint Working Group to initiate the work to add RESTful Services (with a RESTful API) to the existing MIMOSA and OpenO&M specifications which are based on SOAP and XML Schema and used as the basis for the Open Industrial Interoperability Ecosystem (OIIE).
The Joint Working Group is initially focused on the update of 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.
Initial Investigations are evaluating the current Internet Draft specification for JSON Schema and OpenAPI as options to be considered as an alternative for XML Schema. Since unlike much of the internet community MIMOSA is very focused on enabling Standards Based Interoperability for complex Industrial Systems and Systems of Systems, we are also evaluating the continued use of our XML Schema, with a REST API as a logical path forward for the relatively complex events which are inherently necessary in the OIIE. Contact MIMOSA if you are interested in participating.
