The Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) is an industry organization to develop standards, promote a set of interoperability guidelines, and provide a certification program for devices involved in the Internet of things (IoT). By 2016 it claimed to be one of the biggest industrial connectivity standards organizations for IoT.[2] Its membership includes Samsung Electronics, Intel, Microsoft, Qualcomm and Electrolux.[3][4][1]
The OCF delivers a framework that enables these requirements via a specification,[5][6] a reference implementation[7] and a certification program. IoTivity, the open source reference implementation of the specifications, is actively developed by different members of the OCF.
