The OASC Technology Council is an advisory body and ensures that already specified Minimal Interoperability Mechanisms (MIMs) remain relevant, can be effectively adopted and implemented by the OASC ecosystem and the wider market.
The Tech Council was established in 2020.

It is the Technology Council’s ambition to maintain the MIMs to support the sustainable development of open and interoperable digital platforms, based on further developing and expanding open standards and technical specifications, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and shared data models.

The purpose of the OASC Technology Council (TC) is threefold:

1. To oversee the overall roadmap of the Minimal Interoperability Mechanisms.
2. To support the technical development of existing MIMs and explore the technical possibilities for proposed MIMs.
3. To advise the OASC Council of Cities with impartial technical advice and guidance on relevant technologies and standards that underpin the MIMs, developed by the various MIMs working groups.

The Working Groups are formed around Minimal Interoperability Mechanism – approved and proposed. Currently, seven working groups are active, including additional experts when needed.

Foundational MIMs:

• MIM0: Accessing Data
• MIM1: Interlinking Data
• MIM2: Representing Data
• MIM3: Exchanging Data
• MIM6: Securing Data

Application MIMs:

• MIM7: Geospatial Data
• MIM8: Local Digital Twins
