ICT performance characteristics
Interoperability (ICT)
Collaborative and decentralized application architectures and development tools
Comment: The FALCON Virtual Open Platform will be designed as a distributed, multi-system platform consisting of a number of different tools and systems. These include modules for: 1) integrating different types of Product Embedded Information Devices and sensors, 2) extracting information from different social media sources (semantic analysis of unstructured text for blogs and forums, sentiment analysis tools for twitter, etc.), 3) integrating data from third party enterprise systems (e.g. CAD, PLM, ERP systems) 4) provide collaborative, cross-disciplinary design and decision-support for stakeholders involved in the product-service lifecycle. FALCON will implement a semantic middleware to integrate these components, based on the development of the FALCON ontology which will represent concepts of the product-service lifecycle.

Interoperability (ICT)
General interoperability framework
Integration level interoperability
Comment: External applications can communicate with OPC-UA based middleware (subject to authentication etc) to ingest data e.g. from factories
APIs and Integration Protocols
Comment: DIGICOR Toolstore can host external/standalone applications
Result items:

D5.8: Data access API & Reference data store (Final Release)
Data/object model interoperability - Data exchange formats - APIs
Comment: Gateway (interfaces with external applications, built on top of middleware.
Semantic/information interoperability
Comment: The communication middleware in the DIGICOR platform will be based on OPC-UA standard. In order to facilitate the flow of data to and from the middleware, the project will develop Data (harmonisation and transformation) Maps. The Data Maps will be offered as microservices to address the semantic and syntactic interoperability issues. In addition, standardised service interfaces will be defined to allow the discovery and enactment of services within the DIGICOR Platform.

Comment: KeyCloak - based on Standards (OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0 and SAML 2.0)
User Acccess and Rights Management
Comment: KeyCloak based Identity and Access Management of platform of DIGICOR Platform
Application level interoperability
Comment: DIGICOR applications are developed as standalone plug-and-play tools with dedicated interfaces. External applications (e.g. production planning, schedulling, workflow management etc) can also be deployed on DIGICOR toolstore
Modular Design and Deployment Approaches
Comment: Docker based application packaging and deployment is adopted in DIGICOR
