Minimal Interoperability Mechanisms – MIMs
The mission of Open & Agile Smart Cities (OASC) is to unite cities and communities around the world to build a global market for solutions, services, and data based on the needs of cities and communities.
To achieve this mission, OASC champions the Minimal Interoperability Mechanisms (MIMs), a set of practical capabilities based on open technical specifications that allow cities and communities to replicate and scale solutions globally. The MIMs are developed by the OASC Technology Council and governed by the Council of Cities and the Board of Directors.
MIMs provide the technical foundation for procurement and deployment of urban data platforms and end-to-end solutions in cities & communities worldwide.
