Soumya presents today's agenda

any coments on TF-DI report?

none

TPAC planning:

Which breakout sessions?

1. provisioning

2. evaluation of tech landscape

3. security

Recap of discovery interaction patterns (Soumya goes through the according GitHub page)

Soumya show the new Wiki page on evaluation criteria:

https://www.w3.org/WoT/IG/wiki/Tech_Landscape_Evaluation

Soumya looks at evaluation of "Finding things around me"

Soumya goes through the different evaluation criteria for category 1

Louay comments: there is difference between UriBeacon and iBeacon

UriBeacon can advertise URL

iBeacon can only advertise UUID

Soumya: we will update the Wiki table

arne's comment: security and privacy is not yet included as evaluation criterium

arne: shall we include it or not?

arne's comment: we need more detailed description of evaluation criteria

Soumya agrees

Soumya moves on to evaluation of category 2 (Finding things on my network)

Soumya: 'Sleeping Time Support' might not be relevant as a criterium

arne: yes could be right... sleeping time support is dependent on implementation on top of protocol

Soumya: 'Range' is also irrelevant in this category
... are there volunteers to describe those technologies?

Louay agrees to describe SSDP

Ari: what do you mean with 'richness of query' and how do you answer this for mDNS?
... you could have a richer query mechanism on top of mDNS
... what do you mean with "manual entry of keywords"?

Louay: mDNS cannot do it on it's own
... DNS-SD might help to allow for such search keywords

Soumya moves on to the next category

Category 2 "Searching in Directories"

Soumya: Core RD does support Higher Layer Discovery

Arne + Ari: unsure about semantics of "higher layer discovery" and "richness of results"

Soumya: is there anyone familar with the XMPP IoT Discovery?

Soumya moves on to Category 4 "Searching across Peers"

Soumya moves on to Category 5 "Accessing Thing Metadata"

Arne: is bootstrapping relevant for Category 5?

Soumya: agrees, might not be relevant here

Soumya suggests to consider only relevant evaluation criteria for each category

Ari: yes that's good

Soumya starts discussion on "Provisioning"

Soumya introduces Eclipse project HawkBit

project concerned with provisioning part of different devices

Soumya goes through website: https://projects.eclipse.org/proposals/hawkbit

Soumya will contact the project leads

and ask for presentation of HawkBit

Soumya starts discussion on "Wot WG work items"

1.) Uniform and Technology Independent Discovery Mechanism

Joerg: when you read the description, it is not clear why you call it "Uniform and Technology Independent Discovery Mechanism"
... it should be more about 'how you utilize existing technologies'
... should be an interface of how to interact with existing discovery technologies

2.) WoT Security and Security-Enabling APIs

sorry: 2.) Authorization for Things Discovery

Joerg: in the previous case we are confident that we have technology available... in this case it may be a risk whether we are actually able to use something that has solved this issue

Soumya: AOB ?

Ari: what is the difference between "higher layer discovery" and "richness of query"?

Soumya: higher layer is explicit query where richness of query the context is explicitly provided .... he will provide more details on this in written form...

Ari: suggests to add a link to the specification in the table

Soumya closes the meeting.
