RE: Obix question

Well, Working Draft 06 (WD06) is a working draft, so it is not surprising there are errors.

 

Comments like this should go to the TC, where they can be seen and discussed by all, and where the editor can fix them…

 

Thanks

Subject: Obix question

 

Hello Tony, 

I have a question about the Obix spec: oBIX-1-1-spec-wd06.pdf 

In chapter 4.7 there is an example for abstime: 

<abstime val="2005-03-09T13:30:00Z"/> 

In chapter 4.17 however: 

All objects support the concept of null. Null is the absence of a value. Null is indicated using the null attribute with a boolean value. All objects default null to false with the exception of enum and abstime (since any other default would be confusing). 

Would that mean the example in 4.7 is wrong or the description in chapter 4.17? 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards
