2 Technical Architecture Overview

Each of Energistics domain standards—RESQML, WITSML and PRODML—leverages components in the Energistics Common Technical Architecture (Figure 2-1).

Figure 2-1 Energistics domain standards rest on a shared foundation of the Energistics Common Technical Architecture (CTA).

This chapter presents an overview of the CTA and the WITSML data model.
