Scope This part of ISO/IEC 30100 specifies a control and management interface for the integrated home network resources at the top of the interoperability framework specified by ISO/IEC 18012-1. Methods are specified for controlling and managing home network resources through a consistent interface regardless of the underlying home network middleware technologies. Based on the home resource management interface, a management application specifies HES device control services and fault management services. This part of ISO/IEC 30100 specifies the communications data formats and functions for messages sent between the objects of a resource management process and the objects of one or more management applications.
