   Lagally: lets check the minutes from May 25

   any objections?

   no

  OPC-UA collaboration

   Rainer: give presentation what is cover by OPC UA
   … first of all OPC UA is not a protocol
   … is a collection of technologies to ensure a secure exchange
   of standardized information from the sensor to the cloud
   … OPCF membership 820
   … why companies join the OPCF?
   … guarantees early information to upcoming key technologies
   … increasing number of companion specifications
   … currently 63
   … new specs addressing information models
   … there is a huge number of liaison partners
   … like with W3C

   Rainer: shows an example of liaison partnership in the Process
   Automation domain
   …
   … currently working on OPC UA FX. First live demo at SPS in
   November 2021

   Rainer: OPC UA has two communication paradigms
   … client - server and pub / sub
   … pub / sub also transport meta data
   … also support end2end encryption

   MC: can you also use different certificates than UA based ones?

   Rainer: yes

   Rainer: UA comes also with a subscription feature
   … the information model is based on variables, object, data and
   reference type
   … you can transform OPC UA to an ontology

   Rainer: how to create a companion specifications

   <mlagally> @Kaz, Ege - let's handle questions at the end

   <Zakim> kaz, you wanted to ask about binding for different
   protocols

   Kaz: we should think about a possible binding. UA can use
   different protocols. Is this kind of binding addressed?

   Rainer: yes, we should address the different communication
   paradigm, the interaction patterns and the security

   Ege: when I do a cloud communication, do I need a specific
   libraries?

   Rainer: there are some activities that is called CASY(?)

   Lagally: is there some plans to have Information Model as JSON?

   Rainer: we had the plan to use JSON-LD, however, there is no
   ontology available

   Lagally: there is end2end security, can you exlplain more in
   detail

   Rainer: there is not defined which part of the JSON have to be
   signed

   Sebastian: there is already a liaison between OPC and W3C
   … very good time to work more actively
   … the spec is getting stable
   … the question is what should be the target
   … e.g., how to specify OPC endpoint
   … integrating applications
   … how to describe the interface
   … how to setup the OPC UA interfaces
   … very clear to the clients
   … see some activities on defining TDs compatible with OPC UA
   … we can use the information to generate actual TDs
   … mapping to the TD
   … methods equivalent
   … also think about communication information need to be
   provided
   … for OPC servers/clients
   … what kind of endpoint/node information to be transferred
   … based on some specific TDs
   … open questions there
   … also security clarifications
   … metadata in TDs
   … possibly to be transferred to the OPC UA endpoints
   … next slides (18)
   … joint activity proposal
   … OPC UA context to be referred to from TD
   … metadata for UA security mode
   … equivalent variables
   … metadata for UA communications
   … addressing scheme and URL patterns
   … content types, e.g., for UA binary and XMLs
   … local security setup
   … custom UA options
   … next
   … Web of Things s bridging technology
   … win-win situation
   … industry specific semantic on the OPC UA side
   … rich tool landscape on the WoT side

   Lagally: remaining slides to be discussed next week?

   Sebastian: I'm OK
   … but what about you, Rainer?

   Rainer: will try

   kaz: wanted to suggest we discuss the next step, e.g., use case
   description and plugfest collaboration

   McCool: wanted to talk about security but can wait until next
   week
   … also thinking about possible binding based on the use case
   description
   … but can wait until next week
