Dear all, We are finalizing the Terms of Reference of a new ETSI Specialist Task Force (STF): “Specification of the SAREF development framework and workflow, and development of the Community SAREF Portal for user engagement”. The Rationale for this new STF is copied at the end of this mail. This STF is a continuation of the work started in STF 556 [1] corresponding to a part of the work that has been postponed from the previous STF budget allocation Please consider sending an expression of support for this new STF on behalf of your institution, by April 26th: Share your expression of support to: SMARTM2M@list.etsi.org, Enrico Scarrone <Enrico.Scarrone@telecomitalia.it>, Francisco da Silva < Francisco.daSilva@huawei.com>, Patrick Guillemin <patrick.guillemin@etsi.org>, Maxime Lefrançois <maxime.lefrancois@emse.fr> object: Support for new STF: Specification of the SAREF development framework and workflow, and development of the Community SAREF Portal for user engagement [1] - https://portal.etsi.org//STF/STFs/STFHomePages/STF556 Best, Maxime Lefrançois MINES Saint-Étienne http://maxime-lefrancois.info/ ================= Rationale: ETSI SmartM2M tackles IoT, interoperability, and Semantic Interoperability challenges, contributing to the digital transformation of industry sectors in Europe. The SAREF standard ontology is a key flagship to reach semantic interoperability in IoT and Web-based applications where digitized assets play a central role. The first version of SAREF (now Smart Applications REFerence ontology) was published in November 2015 by ETSI TC SmartM2M, and subsequent extensions are being developed to describe digital assets for various domains including energy, environment, building, agriculture, smart city, automotive, wearables, eHealth/ageing-well, water. The STF 556 (Consolidation of SAREF and its community of industrial users, based on the experience of the EUREKA ITEA 12004 SEAS project, https://portal.etsi.org//STF/STFs/STFHomePages/STF556) Published TR 103 608 with requirements for the SAREF ontology portal and the SAREF ontology publication framework (gather requirements), reinforcing the engagement of its community of users. *The value of SAREF is strongly correlated with the size of its community of users, and also to the agility of the SAREF developers to improve the SAREF ontology and react to raised issues. As such, SAREF users’ community and the industry actors need be attracted to SAREF with clear Web documentation and a clear indication about how to provide their input and the kind of input that they can provide.* The ETSI members that contribute to SAREF need to be able to get feedback from the open community of industrial users, to speed up the evolution of the current and future extensions, and reduce the costs of developing these extensions. That being said, the development of SAREF must remain in ETSI's hands to ensure high quality standards are met. The publication and/or use of such feedback must therefore be controlled by ETSI, but the possibility to provide feedback will be open to the world. *The work in this STF is to specify the SAREF development framework and workflow to speed up the development of SAREF and its extensions, and to develop the ETSI software that will be used to generate the ontology portal content from the sources of SAREF on the forge. Furthermore this ontology portal will include interaction capabilities (feedbacks and bug reporting, etc) to enable the SAREF community of users to provide their feedbacks and proposals.* *The final vision is to make the business community able to provide their input to SAREF and to maintain SAREF without the need of a special support from ETSI, but just with a revision from the ETSI members, and in particular from SmartM2M.* *The tool in its instantiation is made for SAREF at first, but in the future can be used by other TBs for other ontologies.*
