Toby, I have pencilled you into the TC agenda for an hour before lunch
(11AM) on Thursday 3rd:
11:00am - oBIX: Introduction and discussion of scenarios (Toby Considine)
Toby is the chair of the oBIX TC. oBIX's goal is to develop
enterprise web services interfaces to building control systems e.g.
HVAC, Access Control, Surveillance, Elevators, Automatic doors, . . .
oBIX appears to have much in common with WSDM and may be able to
leverage WS-RF directly or through WSDM. The purpose of this session
is for Toby to introduce the technology and for an informal
discussion on potential use of WS-RF.
Are you still happy to lead this session and does this time work OK for
you?
Regards,
Ian

RE: oBIX, WSRF, and WSN
I like both of your suggestions. Let's schedule something in the evening
early in the week, and whatever meets your schedule late in the week.
Thanks
Bizarrely, with such a seeming niche, it is not hard to imagine scenarios
in
which there are more oBIX ERPs than all others combined...

I'll be arriving in the US late Tues so won't be around until Weds AM. I
thought it might be nice to have a combined group dinner on Weds. Given the
general preference expressed to meet with Toby earlier in the week, I
suggest you work it around the social diary of WS-N in the first half of
the week and I will send my regrets right now that I won't be able to join
you for that.
Having said that, if Toby wished, we'd be more than happy (I am presuming
to speak also for my co-chair Dave here) to schedule some time on the WS-RF
agenda for Toby to give an overview of oBIX to the TC and have an ad-hoc
discussion about how oBIX might use WS-RF, WS-N and WSDM.
Toby - let me know if this is appealing. This would be very informal -
you've met Steve so far but the rest of us are all much shorter and less
scary.

RE: oBIX, WSRF, and WSN
hmmm....
good point on the group dinners thing.
Ok, am looking for feedback from the WSN and WSRF co-chairs. Shall we
organize 2 dinners (one for each TC) or have one on Wed?
Please advise.

RE: oBIX, WSRF, and WSN
Toby, I'm located in RTP too... very near Steve Graham. This sounds like
a great opportunity and I can be flexible on when we meet
(an evening or Friday during the day).
Steve, what nights are the organized group dinners? We should try to avoid
conflicting with them. We could meet Monday or Tuesday. I'd be happy to
find meeting space.

RE: oBIX, WSRF, and WSNLink
in our discussions Toby and I did touch upon the similarities between the
WSDM work and the oBIX work.

RE: oBIX, WSRF, and WSN
Hi Toby,
I think this is an excellent idea. I would suggest to extend this not just
to WSRF and WSN but also to WSDM (which might also have been your intention
since you cc'ed Heather and Winston). I think you'll find WSDM very
relevant to this work.
At this point I am planning to leave Raleigh at the end of Thursday
afternoon, so I'd rather meet on an evening in the first part of the week.
Regards,
William

Subject: oBIX, WSRF, and WSN
I am the Chair of the OASIS oBIX TC. oBIX's goal is to develop enterprise
web services interfaces to building control systems. Building control
systems run the building services such ass HVAC, Access Control,
Surveillance, Elevators, Automatic doors, . . . We have a list of more than
50 of them and we're sure we have left out many. The goal is to expose
them to the enterprise, whether the enterprise is the Owner, the
Operators/Maintenance, or the Tenants. It is not hard to come up with
scenarios in which there are more oBIX end points than all other XML vocabs
combined, so distributed management is a key concern. In some ways, oBIX
can be thought of as JINI for the oughts...
Most of the oBIX committee is from the controls world, so we are not as
familiar as we might be with the full suite of WS*. For the first draft[s]
we isolated ourselves, to get the first concepts out, and to define what we
are up to. Now that we have some specs up on the OASIS site, we are
exploring the nearby spaces, trying to understand how we might normalize
our standard to leverage tools and standards.
I met today for a couple hours with Steve Graham, who was most generous of
his time in explaining where oBIX might fit in to these allied domains. He
mentioned that WSN and WSRF would be meeting in the Research Triangle at
the end of the month. As I am based in the Triangle, and the chair of the
oBIX XML SC is in Richmond, we were wondering if we could meet with you
either some evening (early, as Richmond is 2-3 hours away) or Friday
afternoon to understand better if we should be recasting our work into
alignment with yours.
I welcome suggestions.
Thanks
TC
