MOBI Standards and Publications

MOBI Business White Papers are high-level business reviews that discuss issues and propose solutions to the world’s most pressing cross-industry challenges with consideration to ecosystem stakeholders, new strategies, emerging technologies, and global policies.

MOBI Use Cases and Business Requirements documents describe pain points, stakeholder responsibilities, and business requirements potential solutions must meet in order to resolve stakeholder needs. UCs also detail workflows for particular applications and are technology-agnostic.

MOBI Technical Specifications define recommended minimum interfaces between systems/modules and data specification exchanged in the process leading up to a reference implementation. This process allows independently developed systems to be interoperable.

MOBI Reference Implementation Architectures prescribe and recommend a solution architecture stakeholders can refer to when they deploy solutions, ensuring that stakeholder requirements described in TS and UC are met in the process. RIs are vendor-agnostic.

MOBI Value Chain Mapping documents analyze how stakeholders handle, leverage, and exchange data; assess how its value increases from upstream to downstream; and identify critical gaps, impediments, and bottlenecks in business automation.

MOBI Technical Guidance documents provide recommendations on how MOBI members can implement systems/applications/standards. These documents include non-binding technical requirements that must be satisfied if a member chooses to conform to the guidance. Implementing the guidance will maximize the interoperability of MOBI standards.

Revolutionary technologies need robust standards for interoperability, safety, and innovation. MOBI develops these standards collaboratively, offering protocol-agnostic guidelines for self-sovereign identity and data across sectors, ensuring flexibility and adaptability.

Our standards enable seamless communication between products and services while promoting sustainable and secure ecosystems. By following them, companies improve efficiency, ensure compliance, and contribute to a decentralized, circular digital economy. Some standards are exclusive to MOBI Members—submit a Membership Inquiry to join us in shaping the future.

MOBI Standardized Schemas can be viewed here. These schemas are critical for implementation of Web3 Self-Sovereign Data and Identity, enabling data spaces interoperability. MOBI and our members are building the Web3 infrastructure for connected ecosystems and IoT commerce. Our goal is to make the digital economy more efficient, equitable, decentralized, and circular while preserving data privacy for users and providers alike. Get Involved
