New oBIX Subcommittee for Reference Enterprise Specifications

During the last meeting, we voted to create a sub-committee
to produce an expository document.  The product of this committee will be
a reference Specification for Enterprise Interfaces for Building systems.. The
goal of this document is to define the
characteristics of the interface that must be provided by the Building System
integrator.  The committee work will have a bias toward service exposure.

 

Several starting documents have
been identified to get the committee’s work going:

1.    
UNC’s RFP for and Enterprise Building Management
System, now some years out of date

2.    
The OASIS SOA Reference
model. 

3.    
The BACnet
Demand/Response object 

 

The committee will consider interfaces to newly popular
surfaces, including

1.    
the Energy Plus performance model

2.    
the buildingSmart BIM

3.    
the OGC geo-tagging standard

4.    
the Emergency Management (EM) two way signaling
standards.

5.    
Federated Identity Management

The subcommittee is not meant to specify deep interactions
with these systems, but they are illustrative of the types of interactions to
consider.

 

Bob Smith has agreed to chair the subcommittee. If you or
your organization are interested in participating, please designate a
participant and sign on. IP rules for the sub-committee will be the same as for
oBIX.
