Hi Sanjeev, Daniel,
I am glad to see your new project proposal. The Intel web team has been
thinking and prototyping something similar so I think we can help in this
project in order to create something re-useable. However, before committing to
the project I?d like to understand a bit more. Below are some initial questions
and comments.
* Use cases ? it would be good to document some use cases what problems the
web services solves and to whom. Once we have the use cases documented, the
below questions might be more clear.
* Goals:
* Managing web service user and application identities: does this mean a
headless (gateway) device running IoTivity stack and some applications on top
of the stack? Is the purpose to bind the user identities to applications? If
so, why? This sounds like security type of use case.
* Enable IoTivity applications to consume web service API: In this case,
is the IoTivity application running on the same device as the web service, or
on a different device? Is the web service API a RESTful API? What is the
functionality of the API?
* Enable plugin model for web services into an IoTivity network: This I
don?t quite understand. Is the plugin (like .so file) for the existing IoTivity
stack to enhance the functionality to include the web service interface?
* bridging messages between OIC schema and web service specific schema:
This is difficult to understand wo/ knowing how the web service schema looks
like. If the web service interface is a REST API why don?t we use OIC schema as
one piece of it. This way apps without the IoTivity stack (like web browsers)
can discover and access OIC devices on the network (i.e. OIC over HTTP)
* Features
* Web Service User/Application Credential Management: I am not sure if
it is a good idea to start building a user authentication service as part of
the IoTivity project.
* A consistent interface mechanism for IoTivity apps to access web
services: Again, I assume the web service is a REST API. Does the consistent
API mean that you will provide a high level API library for the apps to talk to
the web services. This API library is language specific so you will provide
C++, Java and JavaScript?
* Plugin model for adding web services support: Agin, the plugin needs
more context in order to understand this better.
* A template based model for OIC to webservice schema translation: What
is a template? Raml? UX?
We can use the wiki for documenting the opens I listed above.
What is you implementation plan? Do you user node.js or something else ?

Subject: [dev] Initial Discussion on Web Service Interface.
Dear All,
We have created a new wiki page for this activity at
https://wiki.iotivity.org/web_service_interface
The initial set of goals and features we are targetting are as follows.
Goals
- Managing web service user and application identities
- Enable IoTivity applications to consume web service API.
- Enable plugin model for web services into an IoTivity network.
- Mechanism for bridging messages between OIC schema and web service specific
schema (Human Readable Text, CBOR, JSON, XML etc)
We plan to implement the following features.
- Web Service User/Application Credential Management (For ex., OAuth tokens,
twitter handles and user ID)
- A consistent interface mechanism for IoTivity apps to access web services.
- Plugin model for adding web services support.
- A template based model for OIC to webservice schema translation.
The wiki page will serve as the primary source of documentation for this
development activity.
We welcome comments and suggestions from the community.
BR
Sanjeev

Title : [dev] New project is approved by ISG
Hi all,
Based upon the IoTivity governance, ISG received a new propoject proposal as
attached and reviewed it and finally approved it for our new project.
I am so glad to announce the new project and look forward having further
propojects proposals from the community.
Pls join in the new project and contribute your valuable ideas to that.
Daniel (on behalf of ISG)
