Hi,

   I'm a bit concerned about the description of the scope of the ISG and 
how we use the term "context" if each company comes with its own 
description.

   In the proposed text you talk about "the context of data" ... 
referring to questions that I guess refer to metadata ... I believe this 
might be a bit confusing given the fact that the ISG is about context 
information management.

   My suggestion would be to replace:

    /The ISG CIM will specify important protocols running ‘on top’ of
    IoT platforms and allowing exchange of data together with its
    context, for example what is described by the data, what was
    measured, when, where, by what, the time of validity, ownership, and
    so on./

   by something like that:

    /The ISG CIM will specify open standards for the context information
    management layer running 'on top' of IoT platforms enabling to
    implement a context-aware behavior in smart applications.  This
    context information management layer allows to access and update
    information coming from different sources (IoT networks and
    information systems) that besides data comprises the necessary
    metadata describing semantics of information managed, source, time
    of validity, ownership and so on.
    /

   Cheers,

-- Juanjo
