8.6.2 Forms

closed

Issue 670

Issue 670 - Cross link Section 5 and Section 6 with corresponding use cases

Issue 642

Issue 642 - Identify normative RFC2119 assertions that affect the TD specification

Lagally: can we close this?

(no objections)

closed

Issue 635

Issue 635 - arch-id-correlation : An identifier in the WoT Thing Description MUST allow for the correlation of multiple TDs representing the same original Thing or ultimately unique physical entity.

Lagally: (summarizes what happened)

McCool: Farshid's point is about a bit different topic
… we should be careful about what "unique" means here

Lagally: let's close this

closed

Issue 630

Issue 630 - Why are Chapter 8 and 9 separated

Lagally: got suggestions but no concrete contributions yet
… would like to close this

Ege: not clear who to work on this

Lagally: we need concrete PR as a contribution to move ahead

Ege: the procedure is not really clear to me

Kaz: I think section 8 describes the basic concept and section 9 describes the building blocks as concrete specs
… so there is enough difference there

Lagally: we need concrete contributions to move ahead

Ege: don't have time for that purpose
… but not really sure about the procedure

Lagally: would encourage people who raise concern to consider contributions as well

Kaz: some of the WGs except contributions for the spec text, tests and implementations
… that might be too much for WoT, but we should clarify our expectation a bit clearer

McCool: yeah, would be good to document our policy

Issue 630 itself is closed

Issue 629

Issue 629 - Splitting the architecture document

Lagally: (goes through the issue)

Lagally: a lot of background information within the Architecture spec
… do we have right information?
… maybe we could defer this issue to ver. 2.0

Ege: ok, agree
… but not happy to close this issue

McCool: we should clarify which parts are normative and which are informative clearly

Ege: if it's difficult to fix the specification from now, I'm OK to defer this issue

McCool: defer the restructuring as a whole
… and create another issue if needed

Kaz: I'm OK with deferring this issue itself to ver. 2.0
… but please remember that what is more important is the text of the spec itself
… if any of the sections are identified as "informative" but include "normative" feature definitions, that should be fixed

Lagally: don't think we have that kind of problems any more

Kaz: that's good :)
