Do all signals in an Event have the same start time?   If so, we can put the StartDateTime in the event to act as a gluon (for startDateTime), and then constrain Streams to be only duration….   Alternately, we can put StartDateTime in the header for each Stream.   tc   “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” – George Bernard Shaw.

Toby, As far as I know from Auto-DR programs in CA, they all don't have same start time. E.g., is weather triggered RTP DR event, which need start/end time for hourly price information. There might be others. -Rish On Sat, Oct 1, 2011 at 11:21 AM, Toby Considine < Toby.Considine@gmail.com > wrote: Do all signals in an Event have the same start time?   If so, we can put the StartDateTime in the event to act as a gluon (for startDateTime), and then constrain Streams to be only duration….   Alternately, we can put StartDateTime in the header for each Stream.   tc   “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” – George Bernard Shaw.

Another example is an event starts at 5pm tomorrow, and start feedback at 3pm. I was thinking that the ActiveInterval acted as a bounding box, but it doesn't...

The conformance statement we have been using to date is the start time of the signal is the same as the event. Putting a start time in the header of the signal would be a step backwards. -Ed Koch  On Oct 1, 2011, at 11:22 AM, Toby Considine < Toby.Considine@gmail.com > wrote: Do all signals in an Event have the same start time?   If so, we can put the StartDateTime in the event to act as a gluon (for startDateTime), and then constrain Streams to be only duration….   Alternately, we can put StartDateTime in the header for each Stream.   tc   “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” – George Bernard Shaw.

That is why I made it optional.   If it is absent, it inherits from the Active Period. If it is conformed to always do so, as in OpenADR, you don’t even have to check.   I’m making the assumption there that the Active Period Start is the “time of the event”. If not, I may still be missing something.   tc   " It is the theory that decides what can be observed ."   - Albert Einstein Toby Considine Chair, OASIS oBIX Technical Committee U.S. National Inst. of Standards and Tech.
