OpenSCD is used as a upstream dependency for CoMPAS. The major difference is that CoMPAS provides back-end services. OpenSCD is purely browser based. Since CoMPAS is active collaborating with OpenSCD; OpenSCD shares some LF energy infrastructure e.g. Slack and the CoMPAS maillinglist.

The OpenSCD project started by Omicron Electronics and contains contributions from Alliander, Transpower and more. It currently has no project charter like CoMPAS does.

In order to be effective as an open source community; clear structures and guidelines are needed to prevent confusion. This becomes more urgent with the move towards OpenSCD-core where the plug-ins/components can be in seperate repositories.
