Toby...great to hear of this Open oBIX meeting. Since CABA was 
instrumental in launching oBIX, we can alert the CABA Intelligent & 
Integrated Buildings Council (140+ industry 
professionals) about this meeting. Let me know if you would like this 
type of promotion.

      http://webconf.soaphub.org/conf/room/EnergyInterop Notes on this chat: If 
      you have not saved a cookie previously, you will start out as "anonymous." 
      Select Settings at the top, enter your name. I suggest setting timestamps 
      in the display, then save your settings. Clicking on the hand on the lower 
      right "raises your hand" during discussions.

      
I can have a gotometting ready, if anyone wants to 
      share any material for discussion...

      Agenda

      
This 
      is an Open Forum, meaning it is not subject to OASIS formal IP rules and 
      and does not affect voting status.

      
 

      
The 
      purpose of the Open Forum is to develop a consensus on next steps for 
      oBIX. In the recent months, I have received requests for clarifications on 
      scheduling, on ontologies (as defined in the open source OX server) , and 
      on smart energy. We have new members who joined to work on new issues. 
       A DOE / NREL report issued in late Spring discussed potential 
      standard contracts as part of commissioning.

      
 

      
        
What do we need to do to complete the 1.1 work nearly complete? 
        
Do we incorporate WS-Calendar, now an OASIS Committee Specification 
        into the core oBIX Specification? 
        
Do we put Ontologies in the core spec or in a separate Profile. If a 
        separate Profile, is that Profile normative? These could be the ones 
        from the OX server, or they could incorporate work potentially 
        contributed from Haystack (project-haystack.org) or be based on one of 
        the "ie" standards from BuildingSmart/NBIMS or... 
        
Does oBIX require specific extensions for Smart Energy, i.e., to 
        interact with smart grids? 
        
Metering – a high profile intersection of Ontology and Smart Energy 
        

      
One 
      issue is that we may chose to keep the core specification small and clean 
      or we can incorporate the material above. If incorporate, we need to 
      decide if it is 1.1 otr 1.2/ If we do not, we may want to consider a 
      series of non-normative Commitee Notes to address these issues.

      
 

      
As 
      an Open Forum, this meeting MAY NOT decide these issues. We can listen to 
      feedback and input, however.

      this meeting with all those that you think should attend.
