Poll on time for oBIX Open Forum

The link below is to find a potential time for on OASIS Open Forum for oBIX. Under OASIS procedures, non-members may participate in Open Forums while they cannot participate in meetings. The proposed times are over the next two weeks, beginning on Tuesday.

The purpose of the Open Forum is to develop a consensus on next steps for oBIX. In the recent months, I have received requests for clarifications on scheduling, on ontologies (as defined in the open source OX server) , and on smart energy. We have new members who joined to work on new issues. A DOE / NREL report issued in late Spring discussed potential standard contracts as part of commissioning.

- Do we incorporate WS-Calendar, now an OASIS Specification into the core oBIX Specification?

- Do we put Ontologies in the core spec or in a separate Profile. If a separate Profile, is that Profile normative?

- Does oBIX require specific extensions for Smart Energy?

- Metering – a high profile intersection of Ontology and Smart Energy

Share this link with all those that you think should attend. On Monday, I will review the poll and schedule the forum..
