EMIX Recombination Musings

EMIX is Price and Product. Product is Resource Description and Time. We will use WS-Calendar for time series.

I have been trying to clear in my mind how to separate the varying things from the invariant ones in a standard communication. A Price service may name one Product description, and a time series of Prices. A DR offer may name one Product and a time series of Loads (Quantities). A report of Energy Usage may have one product definition and a time series of Prices and Quantities; in a fixed price market, this might become a time series of Quantities only.

Several formats come to mind, but I am thinking about how to indicate, generically, without special knowledge required, what part of an EMIX is shoved into the time series.
