Standardization organizations and industry consortia work hard on device abstraction related standards. Some of them are domain specific, some are very generic, and all of them are useful for a large number of use cases. However in most cases there is no tooling available that allows for creating and managing standard conform device representations. It is also the case that many standards are very complex and it is not easy to validate existing abstract representations of devices against the standard.
Vorto is an open source tool that allows for creating and managing technology agnostic, abstract device descriptions, so called information models. Information models describe the attributes and the capabilities of real world devices. These information models can be managed and shared within the Vorto repository. In addition Vorto provides a code generator extension point where code generators can be plugged in. Many example code generators exist showing the various possibilities how an information model can be translated into specific source code.
