OASIS Members and other interested parties,
OASIS is pleased to announce that Open Command and Control (OpenC2)
Architecture Specification Version 1.0 from the OASIS Open Command and
Control (OpenC2) TC [1] has been approved as an OASIS Committee
Specification.
Cyberattacks are increasingly sophisticated, less expensive to execute,
dynamic and automated. The provision of cyber defense via statically
configured products operating in isolation is untenable. Standardized
interfaces, protocols and data models will facilitate the integration of
the functional blocks within a system and between systems. Open Command and
Control (OpenC2) is a concise and extensible language to enable
machine-to-machine communications for purposes of command and control of
cyber defense components, subsystems and/or systems in a manner that is
agnostic of the underlying products, technologies, transport mechanisms or
other aspects of the implementation.
The OpenC2 Architecture Specification describes the abstract architecture
of OpenC2 to define a common understanding of the messages and interactions
for all bindings and serializations.
This Committee Specification is an OASIS deliverable, completed and
approved by the TC and fully ready for testing and implementation.

Majority Vote. The specification had been released for public review as
required by the TC Process [2]. The vote to approve as a Committee
Specification with non-material changes passed [3], and the document is now
available online in the OASIS Library as referenced above.
Our congratulations to the TC on achieving this milestone and our thanks to
the reviewers who provided feedback on the specification drafts to help
improve the quality of the work.
