To that end, a new project is being started within the Linux Foundation, to create LF Edge umbrella that creates an open source framework to enable exactly that level of collaboration amongst Retail industry vendors; as envisioned by the Open Retail Initiative (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/retail/open-retail-initiative.html).
...
This open source framework will be created as a sub-project of EdgeX Foundry, an LF Edge project. With the creation of this sub-project, we are enlisting other key partners to help build out the Open Retail Reference Architecture (ORRA).
Scope
The scope of this project is a set of software that can be provisioned in a variety of in-store compute resource – including purpose-built devices such as POS terminals, etc., back-office servers and gateways – and more centralized hybrid-cloud infrastructure to facilitate the creation of services and the collection of data that will compel the next generation of innovation in the Retail industry.
This project will build on collaboration between lF Edge projects EdgeX Foundry, Open Horizon, and Secure Device Onboard (SDO) projects.
Stakeholders
IBM, Intel, and HP Inc. are supporting the creation of this project within the Linux Foundation and invite others to participate.
We are targeting this project to other Retail suppliers, merchants, and partners in creating solutions for the Retail industry.
