rwaldron's claim that "Generic Sensor API and Web of Things specs are completely orthogonal" suggests a bunch of unstated assumptions that I would like to hear, especially in relation to the use cases that motivate them. For instance, is there an assumption that the generic sensor API isn't intended for continuous data, e.g. from a heart ECG monitor? What assumptions are there in relation to sensor metadata, e.g. the location and owner of a sensor? The Web of Things needs to allow for a wide range of devices and contexts, and as such, is likely to be more flexible than a sensor API designed for a narrower set of assumptions. This is why clarifying the target use cases and assumptions is critical. -- GitHub Notif of comment by draggett See https://github.com/w3c/sensors/issues/18#issuecomment-103128580
