SNIA Draft Technical Work available for Public Review
During the development of technical work, SNIA may make available a Work-in-Progress DRAFT version for public review & feedback. Work-in-Progress DRAFTS are not endorsed by SNIA for commercial shipping product implementation, but rather for review/feedback and prototyping work to ensure the work, when completed, will meet the needs of the Industry.
Work-in-Progress DRAFTS are subject to change. The Work-in-Progress DRAFT may be updated, replaced, or made obsolete at any time. Some of the Intellectual Property protections for users of SNIA software and specifications are not applicable to users of Work-in-Progress DRAFTs.

Computational Storage API v0.9 rev 1
This SNIA Draft Standard defines the interface between an application and a Computational Storage device (CSx). For each CSx there will need to be a library that performs the mapping from the APIs in this specification and the CSx on the specific interface for that CSx.
Swordfish NVMe SMART Metrics for Storage Controllers
The Swordfish NVMe SMART Metrics for Storage Controllers Working Draft contains a proposal for exposing the comprehensive set of SMART Metrics for NVMe Controllers using the Redfish/Swordfish Telemetry Metrics capability. For information on how the telemetry service and metrics work, read the Swordfish metrics white paper: https://snia.org/swordfish-metrics-whitepaper/release/latest
DRAFT CDMI Extensions and Profiles
The Cloud Storage Technical Work Group is adding new functionality to CDMI by publishing individual extensions the the CDMI standard. These can be implemented as needed in conjunction with a CDMI implementation to add new functionality before the next release of CDMI. As implementation experience is gained and interoperable implementations are tested, these extensions will be made part of the next release of CDMI.
The Cloud Storage TWG will also be publishing profiles of CDMI that scope it down to specific use cases based on different types of clouds.
See the dedicated web page DRAFT CDMI Extensions and Profiles for additional information.
