2. Information models – Abstract representations of real objects
Eclipse Vorto
is a technical approach to standardization at the semantic abstraction layer by means of generic, technology agnostic Information Models.
Vorto Repository
Information
Model
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.

5. Information Models, Functionblocks, Entities and their relationsIM
Information Models group 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. FB FB FB DT DT DT EN DT

6. The Vorto DSL – An easy to use domain specific language for describing devices and related data types.
Example
Specify if the property is mandatory or optional.
Specify the name of the property.
Specify the data type for every property. The be simple and also complex.
Specify a measurement unit for properties.
Define Constraints on property level.
Add descriptions on property level.

Discuss the model
Find all relevant information about the model.
Generate code for the selected model.
The generated code can be downloaded as a ZIP archive.

13. Use Case: ThingWorx and ProSyst
Vorto ProSyst Generator generates Gateway Bundle that communicates to the Bosch Nutrunner.
Vorto ProSyst Generator generates Server REST Service Endpoint
Bosch Nutrunner described as a Vorto Information Model
Exchanged JSON data complies to properties and types described in the Nutrunner Information Model.
Vorto ThingWorx Generator generates UI HTML and javascript Code for the Nutrunner.
In the live demonstration at PTC LiveWorx Europe 2015, we showed how a Nexo Nutrunner can be monitored and controlled from a ThingWorx® Mashup via ProSyst’s mBS stack for gateways and/or the ProSyst mPRM backend.

14. Use Case: Vorto & CoAP
The Bosch Corporate Research division is currently creating an Eclipse Vorto representation of a sample vehicle-to-cloud interface. They are also implementing a code generator that makes it possible to create a CoAP-based integration between a CCU and a third-party device.
