MDPWS Profiling for Relevant Message Element Requirements

Section Number

TF2A Appendix 2:A ISO/IEEE 11073 SDC / MDPWS Message Specifications (Normative)

Priority

• Medium: Significant issue or clarification. Requires discussion, but should not lead to long debate.

Issue

The 11073-20702 MDPWS standard references significantly more DPWS content than is required for use in SDC. As the community moves toward verification testing and conformity assessment, the lack of clarity as to what is required for SDPi connectivity and what is optional but not necessary, potentially results in unnecessary test cases for capabilities that are out-of-scope for SDC and SDPi.

Proposed Change

Craft additional MDPWS message profiling guidance and update to TF2A as appropriate.
