Welcome

Objectives of this meeting are:

• update progress on tasks
• plan new tasks
• start new tasks

Update on tasks

Task list

The updated task list is at SSCONE-SITCOM Tasks.

Completed tasks

• No updates on the work we handed-over since last meeting.updates if any
• The updates to the SWIM Service Description Specification will be sent for formal stakeholder consultation in October.

Ongoing tasks

• Service Metadata Schema
  • Start this task to ensure it is ready to support the updated service definition and description requirements.

Potential new tasks

•  "review" some service descriptions
  • see whether they makes sense, can be improved, and could become "reference examples"
  • see how the Registry is mapped to the schema and the specification
• supporting material
  • naming conventions e.g. topics for AMQP subscriptions
  • controlled vocabulary of verbs for functions 
  • gazetteer of organisations to ensure consistent naming. Note, that SSCONE can agree the entries - the Registry has to implement them.
  • granularity of services e.g.
    • should SIGMET and METAR be separate services or can they be in one service
    • should request-reply and publish-subscribe interfaces be split into two services.
  • discoverability of services - how should information be added to service descriptions to allow them to be easily discovered e.g. tagging services
• start documenting the SOA.
  • This is the SOA as it is implemented - built the aggregate picture based on actual services and how they relate etc
    
    • this will map information exchanges to values in the service categorisation schemes
  • How the Registry integrates
• service definition supporting material

Any other business

• EUROCAE-294 presentation/wiki/spaces/SCOI/pages/59606560
  • A basic outline of what to do and how to do it was given
  • A template is available that can be used by community members to review their services. A sample of these will be presented at the next meeting.
  • We can then identify examples that can be used by the group as a whole.
  • This will then allow us to work on the ecosystem

Any other business

• EUROCAE-294 presentation was presented by chairman of WG104.
  • In summary, it contains guidance on developing SWIM Service Specifications in a EUROCAE context. A template is provided that working groups can use. There is, of course, no restriction on using the template in other contexts.
  • The guidance contains pointers to the SWIM Service Description Specification - ensuring conformance is achieved by the working group.
  • A "Specification" is closer to a service definition but can go further by e.g. including requirements that the service payload model shall be used by implementers.
  • Overall, the document complements the SWIM Service Description Specification. 

Next meetings

Meeting schedule is maintained at SSCONE-SITCOM Meetings.
