Common Data Model and Open Data Initiative #15

Closed shaggygi closed 5 years ago

shaggygi commented 5 years ago

I originally added the following in issue #10, but feel there should be more detailed discussions/thoughts around the topic as DTDL & CDM could fit very nicely with each other.

Another area to see how it could fit is the Open Data Initiative and Common Data Model that Microsoft is driving.

While I briefly looked at CDM, it seems like you could make standard entities for the telemetry, interfaces, commands and such based on the CDM standard instead. That way the data could be used with the same tooling, APIs, apps, services and systems that already work with CDM.

Any thoughts on how DTDL could be based on the CDM and eventual APIs/SDKs?

Thanks for your thoughts on this! Exchanging IoT data with CDM (and ODI) could be very useful. Do you have some specific scenarios or problems you're trying to solve between IoT, CDM, and/or ODI?

Not at the moment and not quite sure the direction of the ODI. Just thought it seemed like IoT models could fit somewhere in the mix.
