BS PD CEN/TS 16919:2016 An IDT-PAE interface enables interoperability among several systems and processes by providingspecifications to the following requirements:
- Data Collection and Transfer: Specification of data transported from the devices to higher levelsystems. There may be more than one permissible protocol referring to different OSI layers. Thestandard will define where the communication requires polling and where asynchronous messagesare used.The basis is messages triggered by events.
- Data Storage and Format: Specification how data is formatted and structured. This concerns thechoice between XML, CSV, EDI, JSON and other formats including possible binary representations.
- Data Model: Specification of the semantics (meanings) behind the data. This is the most importantpart and the one of the most important objectives for the specification. This means that conceptualdata model and its mapping to the Data Format will be developed. Major focus on specificationslevel of detail will be placed in order to provide a document that will provide detailed specificationinformation without being too general or too specific.
