- Abstract
- The Industry/Government Open Systems Specification (IGOSS) Partners (i.e., the U.S. Federal Government, the Canadian government, Manufacturing Automation Protocol (MAP) User Group, the Technical and Office protocol (TOP) User Group, and the electric power industry have developed a number of networking profiles based on Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) standards. The resulting National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) special Publication 500-217 which specifies the Industry/Government Open Systems Specification (IGOSS), leads to the establishment of procedures to assess which networking products confrom to the IGOSS profiles and which are interoperable.
