McCool's comments

McCool: (adds the link for the PR for Issue 453)

wot-architecture PR 590 - Move Partial TD definition to right place in list

Profile

McCool: now let's go for Profile
… but Ben or Lagally is not here today
… we should focus on one profile

Sebastian: think we definitely need Lagally here

McCool: right
… we won't remove anything today without Lagally's participation
… but would avoid old discussions

Sebastian: ok
… this is our direction
… making a baseline document for further profile in the future
… we should concentrate on that
… think the protocol part is safe
… to get consensus

McCool: yeah
… think the mechanism here is fine
… and we should focus on one profile
… will give a comment to this PR 79
… Sebastian, have you gone through Ben's PRs?

Sebastian: most of them
… Ben is following the approach of node-wot

McCool: yeah

Daniel: one issue is...
… PUT must report data
… but that's impossible for TD

McCool: acknowledging what to get
… maybe we need some flag

Daniel: something to report for another payload

McCool: PUT for new property
… might need something for security key
… we could always recommend something

Sebastian: checking with Klaus as well
… he mentioned maybe some disadvantage would be caching

McCool: possibly need to update the cache every time
… we should have discussion including Ben and Lagally
… (quickly goes through some more PRs)

wot-profile PR 79 - Open

New Profile Mechanism section

Sebastian: use case description to be added to the Use Cases document?

McCool: yeah

wot-profile PR 78 - Remove WoT Core Data Model section

McCool: (next, goes through PR 78)

Sebastian: think he's providing good guidelines here

McCool: yeah
… this is very concrete
… removing all the data model descriptions
… need to review the details with Lagally
… (adds a tag "pre-restructure" to the PR)

wot-profile PR 57 - Canonical representation 2

McCool: (adds comments)

McCool's comments

AOB

Sebastian: wondering about the timeline

McCool: we should establish one specific profile as the basis
… we need to check with Ben and Lagally
… let's send an email to them to move forward

Sebastian: ok

McCool: we should be aware of the summer vacation season

Sebastian: ok
