Overview
Project Title	Configuration Object Electronic Data Sheets
Approval	Draft
Document Number
Charter	4.02 Application Support Services Working Group
Document Type	Orange
Description of Document	Most, if not all software applications and devices implement the concept of reconfigurable data item containers. Containers group logically related parameters to configure a function in an atomic way. These containers are created, edited, loaded, dumped, and configuration managed by mission software tools. Currently these tools are custom per container with little/no commonality of developer and operator user interfaces. These container concepts apply equally to flight and ground data systems and missions have requested standards and tools to sopport these use case. The SOIS-App WG asserts that there would be significant mission cost savings and improvement to interoperability if a common specification language was used Since this supports interoperability across missions and agencies, CCSDS is the correct standards organization to develop the standard. This Orange book will address the use cases with a collaboration between different areas working groups to determine how best to develop these standards and ensure mission infusion.
Applicable Patents	There are no patent issues for this technology that are known by the CCSDS community
Patent Comments
Survey of Similar Standards Documents or Projects Undertaken in Other Bodies and elsewhere in CCSDS	Review of similar standards will be part of the book analysis. This book will form the basis any follow on books.
