Issues and PRs

PR 217

PR 217 - Add Well-Known URI and Service Name in "IANA Considerations" section

Toumura: Just editorial change

McCool: Concern about potentially long URIs

McCool: "wot-thing-description" too long?

"wot-td" instead?

McCool: Fix typo and merge

PR 218

PR 218 - HTTP HEAD method to request the content length

McCool: Profiles aims to forbid head methods, but should directories follow a profiles?

Farshid: Does not add any feature to TDD.

McCool: Supports pagination of large TDs

McCool: SHOULD or MUST feature?

Farshid: Easy to implement.

McCool: Will be changed to MUST.

HEAD possible on all endpoints (listing, search, etc.)

Yet another possbility for constrained devices to handle large TDs, fragments, etc.

PR 219

PR 219 - HTTP HEAD method to request the content length (self-description)

Farshid: Similar feature for self-description

McCool: https challenging for constrained devices, so http (not https) a MUST

PR 218 and 219 merged

McCool: "only" 81 issues left

Issue 48

https://github.com/w3c/wot-discovery/issues/48

McCool: IDs are not guaranteed to be unique

Farshid: In JSON-LD it IS unique

McCool: Please look through issues to be discussed next time
