Common Technical Architecture (CTA) Overview Guide

This document provides an overview of the Energistics Common Technical Architecture (CTA), identifying the main components, purpose of each, and how they work together. The CTA was developed to provide a common technical foundation of shared resources to make it easier and more efficient to implement Energistics domain data-exchange standards, WITSML, PRODML and RESQML.

Each component of the Energistics CTA is versioned (as identified in related documentation and schemas). However, this overview is designed to be version-agnostic (beginning with v2.1 of Energistics common ) and focused more on an overview of the components, the role of each, and how they work together.
