The document discusses oBIX, an open standard for machine-to-machine communication. It outlines oBIX's architecture, including its object model represented in XML, use of URIs for naming, contracts for semantics, and extensibility philosophy. Standard contracts are defined for points, watches, histories, and alarming. The document notes that oBIX is slated for public review and early adopters are beginning to deploy it.

oBIX a Work In Process Creeping toward Public Review

Why oBIX? XML standard Enterprise friendly protocol High fidelity

Architecture Object Model: modeling XML Syntax: serialization URLs: naming Contracts: semantics Extendibility: philosophy Protocol Bindings: networking

Architecture Object Model

Architecture XML Syntax


<obj href="http://myhome/thermostat/"> <obj name="spaceTemp" is="obix:RealPoint "> <real name="value" val="73.1"/> </obj> <obj name="setpoint" is="obix:RealPoint "> <real name="value" val="74"/> </obj> <str name="description" val="In Living Room"/> </obj>

Architecture - URIs Uniform/Universal Resource Identifier AKA: URLs Naming for WWW Relative URLs Assigning everything with a URL

Architecture - Contracts Typing/Semantics Contract = list of URIs to template objects (is attribute) Prototype "inheritance" Mixins - multiple "inheritance" Tagging Semantic Web
Taxonomy: standard contracts Folksonomy: vendor/user contracts

Architecture - Extendibility Embrace vendor specific extensions! Easy to mix together standard and vendor contracts Philosophically like Java/C#:
Small fixed grammar (obj model/XML) Standard libraries (spec) Vendor libraries (everything else)

Architecture Protocol Bindings

HTTP
Read - GET Write - PUT Invoke POST

SOAP
Wrap read, write, invoke inside SOAP envelope XML Schema WSDL

Security More
Email (SMTP, POP3) Messaging (MQ, JMS)

Human Web (WWW) Assign every document a URL Wire documents together with URLs Standard document formats: HTML, GIF, JPEG, SVG Semantics: work in progress Search: Google / OWL

10

M2M Web Assign every device an IP address and URL Assign every piece of data and service in a device a URL Wire data together via URLs Standard format: oBIX documents Semantics: oBIX contracts

Standard Contracts Normalization Watches Points Histories Alarming

Watches Subscription Client makes watch via WatchService Add/Remove URIs to watch Client polls server for changes Leased
