Python SDK to interact with INTERSECT

INTERSECT-SDK

The INTERSECT-SDK is a framework for microservices to integrate themselves into the wider Interconnected Science Ecosystem (INTERSECT).

Please note that this README is currently a work in progress.

What is INTERSECT?

INTERSECT was designed as a specific usecase - as an open federated hardware/software architecture for the laboratory of the future, which connects scientific instruments, robot-controlled laboratories and edge/center computing/data resources to enable autonomous experiments, self-driving laboratories, smart manufacturing, and AI-driven design, discovery and evaluation.

For a high-level overview, please see the architecture website.

What are the core design philosophies of the SDK?

• Event-driven architecture
• Support core interaction types: request/response, events, commands, statuses
• Borrows several concepts from AsyncAPI, and intends to support multiple different protocols. Currently, we support MQTT 3.1.1 and AMQP 0.9.1, but other protocols will be supported as well.
• Users automatically generate schema from code; schemas are part of the core contract of an INTERSECT microservice, and both external inputs and microservice outputs are required to uphold this contract.

Authors

INTERSECT SDK was created by its contributors.
