#RFC 9880 and the #IoT #Validation Problem: From Standards Fragmentation to a Device-Model Compiler by guest author Stefano Fago

RFC 9880 and the IoT Validation Problem
The IoT/IIoT world has a data model problem and the concept of Digital Twin has made this issue more important. Plenty of people have tried to fix it. RFC 9880 and its Semantic Definition Format (SDF) are a serious attempt: a JSON-based, ecosystem-neutral way to describe what a device is and what it does. I have had some experiences with this specification, and I’ve understood that the format shows its full value once you treat it as source code, something you compile.
