EDXL DE "issue" senderID

EM TC

 

The CAP philosophy of messages being sent from “people”
to “people” thru application interface forms is not the “machine”
to “machine” EDXL philosophy.  Sensor devices are not always
uniquely associated with a domain and they are for sure not sent by an
individual actor.  In fact, most are on private “e.g. 10.1.1.1”
internet non-routable networks.  Because there are so many instantiations of these
types of sensor networks we have explored MAC addresses of devices NICs for identifying
the unique source of the application device sending the EXDL message.  We need
to consider expanding the restriction of <senderID> to more than an
individual “e-mail address”.
