IEC JWG 16 SyC Smart Cities

City Information Modelling and Urban Digital Twins

1) To carry out a gap analysis on standards related to City Information Modelling and Urban Digital Twins;

2) To use the gap analysis to develop requirements for the standards needed for the implementation of City Information Modelling and Urban Digital Twins;

3) To develop those standards relating to City Information Modelling and Urban Digital Twins that are within its competence, including a reference architecture that takes into account the differing perspectives of City Information Modelling and Urban Digital Twins.



Note for information:

1 The Joint Working Group is not expected to develop many standards itself, but rather through a process of use case/case study collection, the development of an integrated reference architecture, and standards mapping, to identify the gaps in existing standards and support the relevant specialist technical committees to address these.

2 The reference architecture is intended to be coherent with ISO/IEC 42010 and the developing work on Smart Cities Reference Architecture (IEC 63205), the Digital Twin Reference Architecture (ISO/IEC 30188), the IoT Reference Architecture (ISO/IEC 30141 Ed2) and other relevant standards.

The SAG is a working group reporting to JTC 21. The scope of SAG is to support JTC 21 in exploring ways and means for supporting the implementation of the trustworthy Digital Single Market in terms of AI aspects with European standardization deliverables (standards, technical reports etc.).

The OASIS PMRM TC works to provide a standards-based framework that will help business process engineers, IT analysts, architects, and developers implement privacy and security policies in their operations. PMRM picks up where broad privacy policies leave off. Most policies describe fair information practices and principles but offer little insight into actual implementation. PMRM provides a guideline or template for developing operational solutions to privacy issues. It also serves as an analytical tool for assessing the completeness of proposed solutions and as the basis for establishing categories and groupings of privacy management controls.

The OASIS CSAF Technical Committee is chartered to make a major revision to the Common Vulnerability Reporting Framework (CVRF) under a new name for the framework that reflects the primary purpose: a Common Security Advisory Framework (CSAF). TC deliverables are designed standardize existing practice in structured machine-readable vulnerability-related advisories and further refine those standards over time.

The OASIS KMIP TC works to define a single, comprehensive protocol for communication between encryption systems and a broad range of new and legacy enterprise applications, including email, databases, and storage devices. By removing redundant, incompatible key management processes, KMIP will provide better data security while at the same time reducing expenditures on multiple products.

The purpose of oBIX (open Building Information Exchange) is to enable the mechanical and electrical control systems in buildings to communicate with enterprise applications, and to provide a platform for developing new classes of applications that integrate control systems with other enterprise functions. Enterprise functions include processes such as Human Resources, Finance, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), and Manufacturing.

The OASIS AMQP TC advances a vendor-neutral and platform-agnostic protocol that offers organizations an easier, more secure approach to passing real-time data streams and business transactions. The goal of AMQP is to ensure information is safely and efficiently transported between applications, among organizations, across distributed cloud computing environments, and within mobile infrastructures. AMQP avoids proprietary technologies, offering the potential to lower the cost of enterprise middleware software integrations through open interoperability. By enabling a commoditized, multi-vendor ecosystem, AMQP seeks to create opportunities for transforming the way business is done in the Cloud and over the Internet.

The OASIS Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) Bindings and Mappings (AMQP-BINDMAP) Technical Committee works closely with the AMQP TC to advance a wire-level messaging protocol that offers organizations an efficient, reliable approach to passing real-time data and business transactions. AMQP provides a platform-agnostic method for ensuring information is safely transported between applications, among organizations, within mobile infrastructures, and across the Cloud.

IoT devices represent a wide variety of non-traditional devices that are increasingly implemented in organizations due to the numerous benefits. These unique devices often pose a security challenge due to the limited size and lack of innate security making them difficult to secure with traditional security controls and methodologies. It is a combination of these factors that has rendered many devices vulnerable to attacks like the Mirai botnet. The IoT Working Group's mission is dedicated to understanding relevant use cases for IoT deployments and defining actionable guidance for security practitioners to secure their IoT ecosystem. This includes outlining best practices for securing IoT implementations, identifying gaps in standards coverage for IoT security, and identifying threats to IoT devices and implementations.

Prepare a standard for the lower layers for uni and bi-directional meters data exchange by radio frequency communication. (see resolutions 2& 3/1999).

Produce and maintain standards for meter data exchange protocols, for use over short range wireless networks with meshing functionality. Note: Work will be based on existing ZigBee specifications.
