Think of naming patterns Command / Device / command
Affects: SAREF and its extensions Situation: instances of patterns may be identified in SAREF, but sometimes only partially, and with naming heterogeneities
procedure | act | obs | notif | meter |
---|---|---|---|---|
name of the command | ActuatingCommand | SensingCommand | NotifyingCommand | MeteringCommand |
name of the device | Actuator | Sensor | Notifier | Meter |
link between device and property | actsUpon | observes | notifiesAbout | measures |
Proposal: There should be a clear classification/hierarchy that is common to Commands, Devices, Functions. And properties. The current relation between commands and devices is partial and misleading.
