RE: Sample Statement of Use

Ø Notice that the SOU is forward looking in that, it would be issued against the specification draft that is expected to be approved on a certain anticipated date during Nov 2013 as Committee Specification 02. I will confirm the exact approval date shortly after I confirm the date with the TC admin.

In case there are public review comments, we may have to wait at least a week after the public review closes, before we can start the Committee Specification 02 (CS02) approval ballot. Given that, Nov 17 seems a reasonable date to pick for the CS02 ballot to close (when CS02 can be declared as approved depending on the number of votes). So, let’s us use Nov 17 as the CS02 approval date in the SOUs.

Following up from our conversation during last Thursday’s meeting, here is a sample Statement of Use (SOU):

“XYZ has successfully implemented the Committee Specification 02 version (dated November TBD, 2013) of the OASIS OData Protocol Version 4.0 in accordance with the Minimal Conformance Level defined in Section 13 of the specification. This use did not involve interoperation testing with multiple independent implementations”

Thanks.

Following up from our discussion during the August 15, 2013 TC meeting, here is a sample Statement of Use:

“XYZ has successfully implemented the Committee Specification 01 version (dated August 14, 2013) of the OASIS OData Protocol Version 4.0 in accordance with the Minimal Conformance Level defined in Section 13 of the specification. This use did not involve interoperation testing with multiple independent implementations”

Notes:

· The Statement of Use needs to indicate if the implementation conforms to all or only some of the conformance clauses defined in Section 13. For example, if the implementation supports only some of the conformance clauses, the statement needs to identify them.

· If the Statement of Use is issued by an OASIS Organizational Member (i.e., an organization), then the statement needs to be endorsed or issued by the organization’s Primary Representative in OASIS. Each organization has a designated OASIS Primary Representative who has the responsibility to act on behalf of that organization.

We need three Statements of Use in order to advance OData v4.0 to Candidate OASIS Standard. If you are implementing OData v4.0, please consider providing a Statement of Use to help advance the specification. Note, the implementation can be a prototype (meaning it need not be a released product or product quality implementation), and is not required to implement all the features. However, the Statement of Use needs to clearly indicate whichever parts of the specification was successfully implemented.

Thanks.
