Thing Model Catalog CLI

Find, use and contribute device descriptions for industrial IoT devices!

The Thing Model Catalog Command Line Client, or tmc for short, is a tool for browsing, consuming, contributing and serving Thing Models.

Thing Models are simple device descriptions specified in the W3C Thing Description standard. Thing Models are to Thing Descriptions what classes are to instances in programming languages.

Thing Models let you describe industrial devices using a simple standardized JSON-based format, which is independent of the communication protocol. This enables a uniform access layer to the fragmented industrial protocol landscape we encounter today.

Thing Descriptions are to Modbus, BACnet, MQTT, DNP3 … what HTML is to HTTP.
