RE: [obix-xml] oBIX Scheduling
Yes let’s definitely setup a meeting.

 

This is great that we finally have some stuff
written down.  Couple comments:

 

- I do not think vcalendar should implement
Point – intuitively it doesn’t seem like calendars are hard or logical
points

 

- I think it ok that we can’t capture
the contract of consistent values;  no type system can perfectly model
every contract;  so I don’t think we should complicate things by
trying to create specialized bool, real, etc calendars;

 

- I don’t get the priority of 1 or 0
– is that the range?  If so why not use a boolean?

 

- getSchedule doesn’t sound like an
operation – it sounds like a JavaBeans getter; I’d vote for
something like flatten, periods, toSchedule, scheduleFor

 

- We should translate dashes to camel case
for example last-modified should be lastModified

 

- Shouldn’t Vevent and Period have a
value slot?

 

- Does it make sense for Period to include
end and duration when that can be derived?

Scheduling

 

Lets schedule a meeting to discuss.

Issues/Todo:

 
Should Vcalendar implement obix:Point.

 
Should we define calendars and events of specific
     types (bool,real...)?

 
defaultValue object under Vcalendar?

 
How can the getSchedule operation be modified to
     more closely support free/busy requests?
