7.1 General information

When the non-oneM2M data model is described in the form of a oneM2M compliant ontology which is derived (as sub-classes and sub-properties) from the oneM2M Base Ontology and is available in a formal description language (e.g. OWL) then the IPE can create XSDs for the resources needed by communicating entities to communicate with the IPE.

These resources are specializations of <flexContainer>s for Devices, Services and Operations. For these specializations of <flexContainer>s the IPE also needs to create XSD definitionss for customAttributes of the <flexContainer>s.

Note

The alternative of using <AE> resources for Devices is not used for Ontology-based Interworking as specified in the current document. <AE> resource types are described in oneM2M TS-0001 [2] and oneM2M TS-0004 [7].
