Overview
In all networks that combines information from different systems over business and technology borders the crucial thing is to get interoperability. And there is no other way to do this than creating specifications that adds the "common good practices" to make things speak the same language. The interoperability spec will be a moving target with constant elaboration to enable true interoperability between systems.
Some examples of interoperability
- ZigBee alliance, Defining all layers of the OSI stack for wireless sensor networks and adding "profiles" for smart energy
- Upnp and dlna working with specifications for printers, Tv sets to be interoperable
- LonMark an initiative to standardize equipment connected to the lonworks communication system
The problem is that to finance these organizations they must take a member fee and the certification processes is very costly for companies. This also implies that they need to be more or less closed (you have t
This initiative in the XSF must be free and open but yet create a defined way to
When working with open initiatives the only way for this to work is that it is free to join and doesn't cost a fortune to be compliant. And most importantly it is open specifications that is easy to find.
One obstacle is that the specifications must

Creating interoperabilty is a crucial thing in the area of Internet of Things. Interoperability is needed on several layers and can either be forced in to specifications and required through certification processes.
We are therefore planning for a special working group in the XSF organisation that votes on the changes in the interface specifications.
This will involve a separate mailing list
