Information Model Cloud LibraryOPC 11020: CESMII and OPC Foundation will develop a specification for an Internet-hosted database containing OPC UA information models. This database can be made publicly accessible through a RESTful interface. User access control will be handled through a separate identity provider. This cloud library can be made available to manufacturers who are looking to leverage industrial assets containing non-standardized information models for their SCADA or analytics systems.Erich BarnstedtV1.00Released

Cloud FederationThe project will define a UA companion specification and - if needed - other specifications using OPC UA constructs for the purpose of exposing device, edge and cloud communication mechanisms and information to OPC UA applications.
It covers communication between endpoints of cloud services and endpoints of devices physically located in a production environment. The communication crosses one or more administrative company borders and cloud systems. ICF considers both the communication of edge components to cloud components as well as cross-company communication with other cloud systems.		Christoph Legat, Erich BarnstedtIn work

Analytical System Integration (CAISI)		Develop an OPC UA Information Model for a Common Analytical Instrument System Integration (Abbreviation “CAISI”). It will allow integrating analytical instrument systems into analytical data systems (e.g., Chromatography data systems, aka CDS) to execute analytical runs.
Main purpose is being able
• to compose analytical physical devices/instruments (so-called Physical Instrument Controllers, aka “PIC”)
• into a logical analytical instrument system (so-called Logical Instrument Controllers, aka “LIC”)
• and exposing analytical instrument information to OPC UA applications, for example for integration purposes into analytical data systems (e.g. chromatography data systems, aka “CDS”).
The working group will initially focus on Liquid Chromatography (LC), Gas Chromatography (GC), and associated detectors including single quad mass spectrometer (MS).
The Analytical System Integration WG will collaborate with the "Laboratory and Analytical Devices (LADS) Joint Working Group" to provide a common model for the instrument device level (called Physical Instrument Controller (PICs).
