What is Eclipse Vorto ?

Vorto is an open source tool to

Create and share technology agnostic device descriptions (Information Models)

Generate source code, documentation, or standard compliant representations out of Information

Models

Manage Information Models in the Vorto Repository

is a technical approach to

standardization at the semantic

abstraction layer by means of

generic, technology agnostic

Information Models.

Vorto Information Models

are detailed representations of

real objects following the Vorto

Meta Information Model.

Vorto Repository

The Vorto Repository allows to

manage and share Information

Models.

Vorto IoT Toolset

The Vorto IoT Toolset allows to

easily create Information

Models.

Functionblocks.

Functionblocks describe a

reusable set of functionalities.

They can reuse data types

and enums.

Data types and enums are

reusable components that

describe specific data. Data

types can reference other

data types or enums. DT

The Vorto DSL – An easy to use language for describing devices and related

data types.

Add descriptions on property level.

Define Constraints on property level.

Specify a measurement unit for properties.

Specify the data type for every property. The be simple and also complex.

Specify the name of the property.

Specify if the property is mandatory or optional.

Use Case: Automotive-Cloud Communication

Vorto describes services

in vehicle and cloud and

the mappings for the

corresponding protocols

Vorto generates

configuration Files

Vorto generates

CoAP Client + Server

configuration and the

corresponding

resources

Vorto generates the

protocol mappings

The data are

described by

Vorto and thus

interoperability

is ensured.
