Lance --
This is about your comment regarding Energy Interop -- The Energy
Interoperation charter will be coming out for formal review later today
or on April 14th.
The comment period is 14 days; I'll make sure that the notice is posted
here.
At this point it's formally OASIS member comments, but non-members
should post comments to this list and we'll get them on
oasis-charter-discuss list on your behalf (even though I'll have to
help answer them!) :-)
BTW, OGC is a member of OASIS, so OGC staff should be able to sign up
and subscribe to the oasis-charter-discuss list as well as send
comments, I believe.
The list archive is at
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/oasis-charter-discuss/ .
Thanks!

4) I missed the end of the comment period for the draft charter
of the OASIS Energy Interoperation TechnicalCommittee, so I failed to
register my comment (offered as an OGC consultant) that indoor and
outdoor spatial locations and spatial relationships matter. But this is
important for commerce as well. Geospatial standards from the Open
Geospatial Consortium (OGC), ISO TC/211 and IEEE 1451 are in wide use
and need to be incorporated into the Smart Grid standards ecosystem.
OGC and the buildingSMART Alliance recently completed the first in a
planned series of multi-sponsor, multi-participant AEC-Owner-Operator
(AECOO) Testbeds in which energy is an important focus. Follow-on AECOO
Testbeds will likely involve the OGC Sensor Web Enablement and IEEE
1451 "smart transducer" standards. OASIS has a memorundum of
understanding with the OGC. The OGC's CTO is Carl Reed ( creed@opengeospatial.org).
The buildingSMART alliance contact for the AECOO testbed is Christopher
Groome ( chris.groome@b-r-t.co.uk).
The IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society’s Sensor Technology
Technical Committee is chaired by Kang Lee ( kang.lee@nist.gov).
Thank you for the opportunity to offer these comments.

I've attached a draft charter for the
proposed OASIS Energy Market Information Exchange (eMIX) Technical
Committee.
This TC is intended to address the prices, market characteristics, and
other information for energy trading, buying, and selling. I was
inspired to start working on this from discussions in and around the
NIST Building-to-Grid and Industry-to-Grid Domain Expert Working
Groups, and continued interest from first round reviewers and from
people attending GridEcon 2009 in Chicago (http://www.gridecon.com
-- slides are available on line at the agenda link).
From my perspective as an enterprise software architect, this fits into
a simple three layer stack with interoperation protocols (how
to communicate) as the fundamental layer. I put the Energy
Interoperation TC/OpenADR work here, with parts of the message payload
in the next layer.
The middle layer is what is communicated -- for
markets, things like price, quantity, units, time (of use), and
characteristics of the energy sold -- from source (e.g. gas-fired
plants, coal, solar, coal plant with scrubbers, wind) to derived
information (e.g. carbon data), and also trading information (is this a
bid, a price quote, an accepted transaction?).
The goal is to create an XML vocabulary that can be used in a broad
range of market exchanges with minimal differences (and where there are
differences, arranged in a simple way) for the various consumers of the
information.
The third layer is the market design and definition; since markets have
varying degrees of complexity I'm leaving this alone for now :-). This
is a potentially complex area, and an interesting one. Accordingly, I'd
like to carefully define the EMIX work to focus on layer two.
I invite you to participate in a discussion on how to improve this
charter, as well as the sorts of characteristics that are important to
energy markets.
If you would like to be listed on the charter when submitted as a
supporter, please contact me or Toby Considine.
Comments to me or (preferably) to the list. Please reference line
numbers where appropriate.
Thanks!
