Quick updates

<kaz> scribenick: kaz

McCool: testing tf meeting time
... conflict with WISHI call
... so would suggest we change the slot
... possibly combine with the PF call

(OK with all)

Kaz: Liaison request from ETSI CIM as initiated during the Prague f2f
... they would start initial review esp. for wot architecture and TD
... which version to be used?

Matthias: would suggest the updated version after the Korea f2f

(OK by all)

F2F outreach to local orgs

McCool: invitees for openday/plugfest

Matthias: also request from LG to provide summary on the latest update on WoT in general

McCool: will generate some slides

Matthias: please put that on the IG repo

McCool: ok

<kaz> scribenick: mjkoster

McCool: we need a brief summary presentation

Matthias: especially to update people with the latest progress

McCool: will make up some slides with a recent update summary

Koster: will outreach to ETRI contacts

Prague plugfest documentation

Matthias: what about SmartThings and IRI?
... we need to close this chapter and get the learning

Guest presentation, Sebastien with Orange

Matthias: we can collaborate with Orange in the preparation for TPAC in Lyon

Sebastien: presents Thing'in platform and related research and ecosystem building
... note the email invitation to join (on the title slide)
... building an index of avatars for objects in the physical world, not just connected things
... constructing a knowledge graph that describes the relations between objects
... buildings, rooms, and objects
... concept of access modalities to describe the technical path for an application to interact directly with an object based on these relations
... there may also be business cases implemented, e.g. payments
... attracting actors into the ecosystem like developers using application enablers
... the database focuses on descriptions of objects
... rather than the data to and from objects
... "object of interest" for the application can be determined
... the information will be shared outside Orange, to other service providers
... bridging to break the IoT silos
... use case examples around security and management of potentially dangerous situations
... drive the emergence of new services and businesses
... done with presentation

Matthias: thing'in looks like a product quality Thing Directory in many ways

Sebastien: yes we see the similarities
... Orange are looking at the potential of using Thing Description
... don't want to re-invent now ontologies or data models if they already exist

Matthias: bring to plugfest in collaboration, for example different participants bring different components
... could Orange participate?
... could join the calls to plan the details of participation
... we are also discussing rechartering to include normative specifications for Thing Directory
... this could be a good fit to help build a web standard

Sebastien: we were not aware; would like to take a look

Matthias: the activity could start up after TPAC

<Zakim> kaz, you wanted to ask about possible impacts/effects by GDPR (later)

Kaz: 2 questions
... are the slides available for distribution?

Sebastien: will need to check

Kaz: could there be some impact from GDPR on device data?

Sebastien: they are planning to avoid using personal data but are studying the question in more depth
... the GDPR is a complex document and we need to look at the specific definitions and text

Kaz: fyi, Michael McCool is coordinating our security and privacy work, and collaboration with you would be interesting and useful

[agenda update; security vocabulary, f2f planning breakouts and topics]

Security vocabulary

McCool: sharing the new document, information model section
... vocabulary for various schemes
... each scheme has a number of definitions and parameters
... example basic definition
... can be included in TD at the thing level or over-ride at the interaction level
... in the forms

<kaz> diff on the security metadata

McCool: the scheme can be different in different forms

<inserted> (the above URL to be moved right below the topic title)

McCool: the schemes can be "or" combined by using multiple forms
... alternate schemes for an interaction can be indicated by using more than one form, each with a different alternate scheme
... class/subclass model structure
... UML diagram

<McCool> https://github.com/w3c/wot-thing-description/pull/144

Matthias: did we switch from labeled configurations?

McCool: just got rid of the definitions section
... also added the concept of overriding a security configuration in each form
... but this may result in more duplication

Matthias: we can test it in the plugfest

McCool: can we derive a certificate from an identity in Thing Descriptions using Thing Directory DNS?

Matthias: what about the definitions e.g. bearer, oauth and why are they different?

McCool: derived from OpenAPI, and can handle Kerberos for bearer tokens

Matthias: OK, the tokens can be used without Oauth

McCool: there is text explaining this now
... for the plugfest, each participant should choose from the 3 schemes

Matthias: do you use lower case identifiers for class names? the convention is CamelCase

McCool: may need to do another round to harmonize the identifier conventions
... trying to be consistent with OpenAPI but there are some awkward cases like name collisions

Koster: need to drop from the call

<Sebastien> need to drop from the call

<kaz> Koster: mentions iotschema.org work

<kaz> Darko: will send information to Sebastien

<kaz> [adjourned]
