RE: Odds and Ends and Finishing up.

And to be complete, an End Time in the Association completes the set….

I think of a building integrator defining a series of behaviors, a sequence, into each building systems controller

I see a DR event coming from outside beginning at HH:MM

I see the Business manager (who may be electronic) invoking defined sequences in each building system, each to complete by HH:MM

Last obsessions:

So we have a sequence of Intervals.

We have an association that can attach to a sequence, establishing inheritance across the entire series.

Uses: Energy Product inherited across each interval with price override per interval

Uses: Classroom Schedules with Occupancy override per interval

A) Should duration be an allowed component of the association?

[Here is a sequence of intervals. The default length is 15 minutes. One interval overrides to be an hour]]

B) Should start time be an allowed component of the association?

[Create a fixed sequence, and actual scheduling is only in the association. Sequence remains immutable]

C) Can one Name a Sequence? Reference to some sort of external contract?

[May be out of scope - but I can see use in derived standards]

[May be a fixed reference to an interval that happens to be part of a sequence]

[Enterprise contracts in oBIX]

D) We have an implicit assumption that Association is with the “First” interval. What is the first interval? Should any interval be allowed?

[(1)Sequence of half hour warm up, (2)operating interval, (3)15 minute cool down]

[Associate 3 hour contract starting at 2:00 with a given price with interval (2)]

[Might have DER uses]
