[Css-csts] Action Item #03-0511S

[John Pietras]

CSTSWG colleagues ---

Action item #03-0511S states "JP will provide the text for the Cyclic
Report, Information Query, and the Notification Concept about 'published
names'." The action resulted from (a) the concern that the early
statements to the effect that the Complex publishes the parameter names
underplays the possibility that the service specification itself could
define the names, and (b) the recognition that in addition to the Cyclic
Report and Notification procedures, the Information Query procedure also
relies on the use of published names of queriable parameters.

 

I have uploaded the file PublishedNamesConceptsSections-2011-0531.docx
to the Red-1 Framework Review May 2011 folder of the CWE at URL

and%20Concept/Red-1%20Framework%20Review%20May.2011/PublishedNamesConcep
tsSections-2011-0531.docx

 

Please note that I have also deleted the following Note from the
Notification procedure Concept section:

"NOTE   -             It is possible for a notification-enabled CSTS to
have a published event list name that represents an event list that
contains events that do not have their own published names. For example,
a particular notification-enabled CSTS may allow subscription to certain
event groups but not to some or all of the individual events that
constitute that group. In such cases, event names must be defined for
these events (even though they are not published) so that they are
commonly understood by both Service User and Service Provider. If a
given notification-enabled CSTS allows event lists to represent
notifiable events that are not individually publishable, the definition
of those non-publishable names is controlled by the specification of
that CSTS."

 

I seem to recall that we discussed this possibility at some point, and
that we (the CSTSWG) agreed that this was too complicated. That is, any
parameter/event that can be subscribed to via a list name should also be
able to be subscribed to individually. If I am remembering that
conclusion incorrectly, the Note should remain in the Notification
section and similar notes added to the Information Query and Cyclic
Report sections.

 

Best regards,

John
