Open standard protocols
Non-proprietary, publicly available specifications that enable seamless communication and data exchange between disparate systems and software components.
AI & LLM Integration
- Application Programming Interfaces: The traditional mechanism used by large-language-models to interact with external data sources, services, and tools.
- model-context-protocol: A newer protocol designed to facilitate external interaction and context management for agentic-ai and large-language-models.
Core Principles
- Interoperability
- Data Integration
- System Extensibility
