OCF – Result of Consolidation

APRIL 2017 OPEN CONNECTIVITY FOUNDATION PUBLIC INFORMATION – NON NDA 3

• Make it easy for developers to deal with the complexity of IoT comms

• Provide a common data model that developers can use to interface with all IoT devices and their underlying data

• Establish an architectural foundation that can achieve the necessary

scalability

• Focus the architecture around interoperability

• Supports the needs of multiple vertical markets (since many use cases span multiple vertical markets)

• Provide a path towards future consolidation of standards

Identifies the type of resource

etc

Friendly name

§ The resource model, coupled with the common data model, provides the base interoperability of OCF

§ Any physical or software artifact on a device that needs to be manipulated or made visible across the network can be described via the resource model

§ A resource has a URI and a collection of Properties

links: Other Resource URI Resources can include links to

other resources

OPEN CONNECTIVITY FOUNDATION PUBLIC INFORMATION – NON NDA

• CREATE

• Create a new Resource on the Server

• RETRIEVE

• Get the current State or representation of a Resource from a Server

• UPDATE

• Request a partial or complete update to the information stored in a Resource

• DELETE

• Remove a Resource from the Server

• NOTIFY

• Request asynchronous notification of state changes in a Resource

• Special-cased to support OBSERVE for publish/subscribe support

• Interface provides a “view” into a Resource or Collection

• Interface defines allowed methods and semantics on that “view”

• OCF has a set of predefined Interfaces

• Resources can have multiple Interfaces

Major Changes in OCF 1.0 (Draft) CR from OIC 1.1

Swagger/OpenAPI for

Data modeling

Introspection (new)

RAML is still used in main spec definition

20/37

Enhanced security

Alignment with IETF ACE model and AllJoyn

Better specification of uses of certificates

Better management of onboarding and offboarding processes

Mandatory access control

System management (eg update)

Summary

Resource-Oriented Architecture

“Devices” based on sets of “Resources” accessed through set of abstract CRUD-N “Interaction Mechanisms”

CRUD-N mechanisms are mapped down to specific operations on particular protocols (eg CoAP, HTTPS)

Interface abstraction allows for “Views” into resources

Collection and Link abstractions allow for aggregation of Devices, even if not co-located

IoTivity

Open-source implementation of OCF model

New features in OCF 1.0

Introspection

Enhanced security
