Re: AW: [TD-TF] TD web meeting details & agenda

Hi Sebastian,

I hope to attend tomorrow's call and will need to set an alarm to wake 
me up in good time. I am normally asleep at the time of the call.

So far I have:

  - Suite of use cases with JSON to JSON-LD, Turtle and diagram via GraphViz

  - Full suite of OCF 1.1 resources with JSON to JSON-LD, Turtle, RAML 
and GraphViz

  - Full suite of oneM2M devices and modules with JSON to JSON-LD, 
Turtle and GraphViz diagram

  - Node based application platform

  - Cyber-physical demo using Web Sockets for the IoT platform with web 
page library

  - Multi-channel healthcare real-time streaming demo

  - RDF validation using ATNs with a test suite harness

  - Context free grammar and spec for JSON to RDF

The large number of use cases provide a survey of the features needed 
for the information models for things. This includes booleans,  
integers, numbers, strings, collections, vectors, nested properties, 
unions, enums, named types, simple constraints, and so forth. I found a 
need for an import relation, e.g. to describe oneM2M's model of devices 
and modules, and the need for including IoT platforms in the Linked Data 
model as a basis for application platforms to invoke the target IoT 
platform.  I look forward to working on studying the Current Best 
Practices document and published thing descriptions to analyse the 
Linked Data model they are using and compare it with the model used in 
my surveys.

p.s. I am also working on surveying Bluetooth specifications to reverse 
engineer the corresponding thing descriptions and gather the 
requirements on the information models, and likewise plan to do so for 
Industry 4.0 use cases.

Best regards,

     Dave
