OPCde

OPCde is a term used in technology and information contexts that does not point to a single universally recognized standard or entity. In practice, OPCde is employed as an acronym or project name in different settings, and its exact meaning depends on the source.

In software development, OPCde is sometimes seen as an acronym for open-source code development projects or tools, with each organization defining its own scope and objectives. In data processing and industrial systems, the term has occasionally appeared as a shorthand for concepts related to encoding, decoding, or exchanging data between components; again, the precise definition varies by implementer.

In the community and event space, OPCde is sometimes used as the name of conferences, workshops, or meetups associated with software or security topics. These events are independent from formal standards bodies and typically publish their own program tracks, schedules, and codes of conduct.

Because OPCde lacks a single governing body or official specification, it is important to verify its meaning from the immediate source when encountering the term. The term is sometimes confused with related acronyms such as OPC (Open Platform Communications) and OPC UA, which refer to established industrial communication standards.
