Industry collaboration is key to the success of the Internet of Things (IoT). One of the issues is having common data models across the industry. To solve that issue, Open Connectivity Foundation has worked under liaison with Bluetooth SIG, OMA SpecWorks, Zigbee Alliance on One Data Model. The work has progressed in such a way that the conducted work is now made public and the continuation of the work will be conducted in public. OneDM has created a new definition format to convey data models with the end goal of standardizing submitted data models defined by the various organizations so that a single model for a desired feature or purpose can be selected. The developed definition format is called Semantic Definition Format (SDF). SDF has fulfilled requirements from the participating organizations. Learn more about SDF here.

How Can the OCF Core Framework be Applied to Building Automation?
Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) recently formed the Smart Commercial Building project. The project is dedicated to connecting building automation devices on managed networks and intends to leverage and extend the existing protocols in building IoT.
One of the first project initiatives defines how the OCF core framework can be used to transport BACnet models. A new OCF white paper, “BACnet Gateway & OCF,” explains how OCF devices, especially sensors, can be used in a deployed BACnet system. This can be achieved by adding an OCF client to a BACnet gateway. Those interested in learning details about the integration of OCF with a BACnet gateway can read the free white paper today, which contains translation rules from OCF resources to BACnet objects.
