Alternately, this could be an additional chapter added to the signals and streams… tc "If something is not worth doing, it`s not worth doing well " -- Peter Drucker Toby Considine TC9, Inc OASIS TC Chair: oBIX & WS-Calendar OASIS TC Editor: EMIX, Energy Interoperation SGIP Smart Grid Architecture Committee Email: [email protected] Phone: (919)619-2104 http://www.tcnine.com blog: http://www.NewDaedalus.com From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Toby Considine Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2013 12:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ws-calendar] Calendar queries and filters For over a year, I have had a notion of using vavailability as a generic query/filter language for schedule and calendar-related information. My initial thoughts were tied to syndication, but the more I think of it, I see it as a general issue. 1) Show me weekday evening classes I could take. 2) Show me all control events that occurred during working hours during January? 3) Show me all conference rooms that are available Tuesday morning as well as the first Thursday of every month? 4) Show me all monday morning meetings in the last 6 months. There may be other components of the query. 1) Show me weekday evening classes I could take. Exclude Pilates classes 2) Show me all control events that occurred during working hours during January? Short-Cycle events only 3) Show me all conference rooms that are available Tuesday morning as well as the first Thursday of every month? Only the ones with multimedia equipment and phones. 4) Show me all monday morning meetings on the ground floor attended by more than 10 people in the last 6 months. Those other types of queries require specific semantics tied to things that are out of scope for today’s question. Should WS-Calendar prepare a Committee Note on Calendar-related queries? Should WS-Calendar publish some sort of guidance on using “It is the theory that decides what can be observed." -- Albert Einstein Toby Considine TC9, Inc OASIS TC Chair: oBIX & WS-Calendar OASIS TC Editor: EMIX, Energy Interoperation SGIP Smart Grid Architecture Committee Email: [email protected] Phone: (919)619-2104 http://www.tcnine.com blog: http://www.NewDaedalus.com
