Visualisation of how RefARK’s principles are interconnected
How RefARK relates to other standards
How RefARK relates to IEC 30141
In IEC 30141, the IoT domain has been broken down as shown below. The image is used with permission from SEK Svensk Elstandard.
When RefARK’s principles are superimposed on this image, the consistency can easily be noted. IoT-1, IoT-2, IoT-3, IoT-5, IoT-8 are missing from the image. This does not mean that these principles are not found in the standard, but rather that they are not included in this particular image.
How RefARK relates to OASC
OASC MIM breaks down the IoT domain as depicted below. The image is taken from Syncronicity.
When RefARK’s principles are superimposed on this image, the consistency can easily be noted. IoT-1 and IoT-8 are missing from the image. This does not mean that these principles are not found in OASC MIM, but rather that they are not included in this particular image.
Explanatory images
Principle IoT-9 “The IoT system enables the management and orchestration of event-driven information flows” provides the conditions for keeping track of all arrows and nodes. It defines the flow between enrichment and processing modules, storage and making available, i.e. how information flows between physical IoT device and application.
IoT-7 in relation to other principles. Unlike IoT-2 and IoT-3, IoT-6 covers the entire IoT system, its sensors and applications.
