Possible guest from Schneider Electric

   Sebastian: A person from Schneider Electric would like to join
   TD call next time.
   ... He is considering to join WoT WG.
   ... Are there any concerns?
   ... We can make introduction, and he can tell us what he is
   doing.

   Daniel: Is Schneider Electric thinking to join?

   Sebastian: They are working on eClass.
   ... They would like to know what we are discussing.

   Kaz: We should talk about this with McCool.
   ... Inviting once or twice may not be a problem. But regular
   participation needs invited guest status.

   Sebastian: Just one time for now.
   ... and then they will make evaluation.

   Kaz: Sebastian and McCool can decide as co-chairs.

   Sebastian: Is it ok for TD TG people? Please consider.
   ... No objection?

   <kaz> (none)

   RESOLUTION: TD TF sees no problem inviting Schneider Electric
   to one of the coming meetings.

PR #896

   <inserted> [14]PR 896

     [14] https://github.com/w3c/wot-thing-description/pull/896

   Sebastian: I have to manually do it without script.
   ... Work in progress. Will work next week.

Missing triple resolution in JSON-LD playground for properties forms
#905

   <inserted> [15]PR 905

     [15] https://github.com/w3c/wot-thing-description/issues/905

   Sebastian: I was not sure if this was Playground problem or our
   definition problem.
   ... Information about form is missing in N-Quads

   <kaz> [16]JSON-LD Playground

     [16] https://json-ld.org/playground/

   Sebastian: This is strange. I suspect this may be JSON-LD side
   bug.

   Daniel: It may be a bug in context file. We need to check with
   Victor.

   <Ege>
   [17]https://github.com/w3c/wot-thing-description/issues/894

     [17] https://github.com/w3c/wot-thing-description/issues/894

   Ege: There was another related issue.

Introduction is missing security component #904

   <inserted> [18]Issue 904

     [18] https://github.com/w3c/wot-thing-description/issues/904

   Ege: Editorial. In introduction, it says TD has 4 components.
   ... But Security is missing.
   ... I think the paragraph was very old. I suggest we add
   Security.

   Sebastian: Rendering script is not working yet.

Managing Dynamically Created Resources in TDs

   <kaz> [19]Issue 899

     [19] https://github.com/w3c/wot-thing-description/issues/899

   scribenick: kaz

   Taki: (goes through the discussion on Issue 899)

   Ege: think it could be handled by Protocol Binding
   ... not really obvious how to deal with ID, though

   scribenick: taki

   Ege: We need to add a new term in output.

   <Ege>
   [20]https://github.com/w3c/wot-thing-description/issues/302#iss
   uecomment-627500213

     [20] https://github.com/w3c/wot-thing-description/issues/302#issuecomment-627500213

   Ege is explaining how his proposal works in issue #302...

   Ege: Whether we need to use Dynamic TD or not. We first need to
   decide on it.
   ... We should first consider static case, then should decide
   whether we use dynamic TD or not.

   Sebastian: We should consider pros and cons between Ege's and
   Victor's proposal and merge them.
   ... Multiple consumers initiated actions. In TD, if all actions
   are visible in TD, can anyone stop other's actions?

   Ege: Security mechanism such as token can be used.

   Kaz: Mechanism to transfer credential is needed.
   ... Such additional mechanisms should be considered.

   Daniel: If you invoke fade action, how does an implementation
   know if the action is active or not?
   ... Consumer needs to check TD update.

   Ege: Periodically check action status.

   Daniel: How often TD is updated is not known.
   ... Some action finish shorter others longer.

   Ege: Expose Thing script would know that.
   ... In the case of dynamic TD, it would not know.

   Daniel: If both exposed thing scripts and clients die, the
   added TD part will remain forever.

   Ege: When clients do not query anymore, TD is still updated in
   exposed thing.
   ... when the action finishes, new forms are removed in dynamic
   TD case.
   ... In Mozilla's case, they are kept in memory for some time.
   ... Programmers can use this option.
   ... Hypermedia=true option.

   Daniel: It may be a bit too complex.

   Sebastian: Can Ege create a concrete proposal in HTML document?
   ... When we have two concrete proposals, we may find the two
   are very close. We can try in PlugFest.

   <kaz> [21]Issue 897

     [21] https://github.com/w3c/wot-thing-description/issues/897

   Sebastian: There was a WISHI call.
   ... Carsten suggested to add constructor class in TDT.
   ... This is something we can realize by placeholder approach.
   ... I will write this.

   Ege: Use constructor to make complete TD?

   Sebastian: Yes.
   ... TD will be different based on usage. Can use parameters.
   ... The discussion was at abstract level.

   Kaz: The idea is interesting.
   ... We need to think about TD management mechanism. Object
   oriented languages such as C++ and Java need to work with some
   Operation System for actual construction and destruction.

   Ege: Scripting API already has produce. Placeholder is not
   considered yet. It has partial TD.

   Sebastian: I suggest to let Carsten to be involved in this
   dicussion.

   Kaz: right. I'm not objecting to this idea itself, but we need
   to consider those additional points.

HTTP Binding for providing historical events. #892

   <kaz> [22]Issue 892

     [22] https://github.com/w3c/wot-thing-description/issues/892

   Ege: People display UI using a series of events, for example,
   Oracle UI.
   ... Client connect to Thing, and dynamically create UI. Client
   needs past events to create UI in some cases.

   Sebastian: I will create use case issue in Architecture TF.

PlugFest plannings

   Sebastian: We have many small features we can test in
   PlugFests, such as minLength and MaxLength.
   ... Also CoAP and MQTT vocabularies.
   ... If we have a good resolution for query action status, we
   can try that.

Binding Templates

   Ege: I plan to work on CoAP vocabulary. A student worked on
   Modbus vocabulary.
   ... Is anyone submit PR and gets accepted?

   Sebastian: Do you have a concrete PR?

   Ege: He has not created a PR.
   ... Are we allowed accept?

   Daniel: We can mark it as not substantial.

   Kaz: If it is editorial, it is fine. Protocol binding is not
   normative.

   Ege: It is related to master's thesis.

   Kaz: It depends on the content.
   ... If the content is technical, it may be an issue.

   Ege: It will be ttl file.
   ... A new TTL file.

   Kaz: TTL is related to TD, right?

   Ege: No. It is about binding templates.

   Kaz: Please create the content first.
   ... Let's review it in next call.

   Ege: OK

   Sebastian: Klaus will be involved in CoAP vocabulary task.

   Ege: I agree we should work with Klaus.
