Overview
Welcome to the technical resources and the specifications for the ETP standard. This material is provided to help in the design, development and testing of software based on the ETP standard. The members of the WITSML SIG have contributed a lot of time and effort to deliver ETP, as well as make available various tools to make it easier to build software based on ETP, test it and deploy it.
ETP Version 1.1
Version 1.1 was released in 2016, and it is the current version of the ETP standard. It should be used for all new developments.
ETP Version history
- Version 1.0 is deprecated and no longer supported
ETP Development tools
The following resources are available for developers:
- ETP Development Kit : SDK kit for Java and .NET object wrap
- Energistics Online: a comprehensive interactive documentation system
ETP Certification
There is not certification process for ETP
Collaboration with other standards organizations
There are no active or past projects related to ETP
Related standards
ETP combines with:
- Energistics standards WITSML, PRODML and RESQML
- Energy Industry Profile for Metadata

ETP version 1.1
ETP 1.1
This is the current version for new and upgraded production implementations. Use with WITSML 1.4.1.1 or 2.0, PRODML 2.0 and/or RESQML 2.0.1
The previous version of ETP, v1.0, is not recommended but still supported

Resource Set
Unless otherwise noted, these resources are located in the ETP v1.1 zip file.
| Document/Resource | Description | |
| 1. | ETP Specification | Defines content, messages and behaviors of ETP. |
| 2. | Energistics Identifier Specification | Describes rules and guidelines for Energistics identifiers. |
| 3. | ETP UML Data Model | The entire UML data model (used to design, document and produce schemas for ETP) that developers and architects can explore for better understanding of data objects, definitions, organization, and relationships.
Developed using Enterprise Architecture (EA) modeling software (version 12), the UML model exists as an XMI file. Information about EA, including a free EA Lite reader, is available at the Sparx Systems website, http://www.sparxsystems.com/. |
| 4. | Schemas | Avro schemas as described in this document. |
| 5. | Developer resources | BitBucket repository containing community-developed resources to assist in implementing ETP in various programning languages and platforms. These resources are not directly supported by Energistics but by members of the SIG communities. |
ETP Version History
Previous versions of the ETP Specification that have been deprecated and/or are no longer actively supported. New deployments/uses of a deprecated or unsupported version are not recommended. The current version should be use for new implementations.

| Document/Resource | Description | |
| 1. | ETP Specification | Defines content, messages and behaviors of ETP. |
| 2. | ETP Implementation Guide | Explains the migration process from WITSML 1.4.1 to adoption of ETP, initially to replace real-time transfer of log data. Includes guidance for Java and C# .NET. |
| 3. | Energistics Identifier Specification | Describes rules and guidelines for Energistics identifiers. |
| 4. | ETP UML Data Model | The entire UML data model (used to design, document and produce schemas for ETP) that developers and architects can explore for better understanding of data objects, definitions, organization, and relationships.
Developed using Enterprise Architecture (EA) modeling software (version 11), the UML model exists as an EA project (EAP) file. Information about EA, including a free EA Lite reader, is available at the Sparx Systems website,http://www.sparxsystems.com/. |

Example of Implementation
There are no ETP example materials available at this point in time.
ETP Development kit
ETP DevKit
The ETP DevKit provides a common foundation and basic infrastructure to simplify and standardize creating applications that transfer WITSML, PRODML and RESQML data via the Energistics Transfer Protocol.
Collaboration Initiatives
There are no current initiatives for collaboration involving ETP
ETP Certification
There is currently no certification process for ETP.
