Interoperability between working software is an indispensable element for better cooperation, development and integration of services.  It is a practical and innovative response to current industrial needs.

In the SPEEDIER project, interoperability is a central and key attribute for the long-term sustainability beyond the life of the project. In this context, the SPEEDIER Interoperability Connectivity Better Practice Guide was launched. It was initiated by TFC Research and Innovation Limited in close collaboration with ITeC.

The Better Practice Guide focuses on the integration component of the SPEEDIER energy expert support tool for SMEs. It addresses the tool architecture, vocabulary and application programming interface (API) constructs of a common information space for the sharing of knowledge at semantic level in line with ITeC protocol. This newly created defined capability can enable other related software tools and platforms to engage with the SPEEDIER Energy expert support tool, which was developed in the SPEEDIER project by ITeC (Spain).

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the guide, details on the following can be obtained:

1. Resource Description – Vocabularies to describe the different types of resources to enable the different related energy management platforms, tools or ecosystem to technically exchange resources.
2. SPEEDIER Services Tool – Agree on a minimal set of APIs (Application Programming Interface) to be implemented by any platform / software tool operating in the energy efficiency domain, through which requests for services can be made.
3. Security & Accessibility Profile for Resources and Services – Set of security specifications to be associated with resources and services maintained on the SPEEDIER software energy expert support tool.

Everything necessary for your platform or work software to connect directly to the SPEEDIER Energy expert support tool is outlined in the guide in line with ITeC security protocol.  The Guide is available here.

SPEEDIER the energy solution within everyone’s reach.
