Favorite Use Cases List

From Semantic Sensor Network Incubator Group
Jump to: navigation, search

This is a table of use cases that may be used to drive the priorities for the SSN.

Rather than exhaustively construct and prioritize complete use cases, the idea is to quickly identify the most important ones to the team, at least in broad form. Then if we need to describe some of them in more detail, we can do that.

Most use cases reference the source from which they were drawn.

To Complete

To enter your vote for a particular entry as being important for the SSN ontology to support, add a "+1:" and your initials to the Votes column.

To enter a new use case, review the list of possible use cases, at the bottom of the page, to see if it might already be there. Copy and paste the row of your choice, and edit it to include the correct ID, make your vote the first, and if necessary to correct the description and add a reference.

If no original source exists for this use case, considering adding your own description on a separate wiki page.
