All,

Please, see attached Juanjo's comments on our architecture specifications. 
They have been incorporated into the architecture deliverable already 
(just delivered, as you can see from the email below), but now we need to 
make the adjustments at the wiki, to be included in the Open Spec 
deliverables. We are very late with the delivery, therefore, it is 
important to update the wiki ASAP, so that we can re-generate and deliver 
the open specs. Please, make the updates by Wed 3pm CET (before our weekly 
call).

Thanks,
Alex

D.2.3.2 -       FI-WARE Architecture

Hi,

  Please find attached the final official submission of the FI-WARE 
Architecture deliverable.

  While carrying out a very final cross-chapter revision, I have 
identified the need to achieve a better consistency between names of 
sections in the different chapters and even within chapters:
There were some cases where the section titled "Basic Concepts" within the 
Architecture Description of a given GE was titled as "Main Concepts".   I 
have changed this wherever I found it
There were some cases where the "Main Interactions" section within the 
Architecture Description of a given GE was titled as "Main Operations".  I 
have changed this wherever I found it. 
  There were GEs in the Security chapter for which the sections related to 
Copyright and Legal Notices were missing.   This also happens regarding 
Basic Design Principles.   Please add these sections asap.   Despite I 
asked for the names of the companies to be added manually, I got no 
response.
  It would be nice that you perform a general review of the structure in 
your chapters and double-check alignment with the standard structure 
template we defined.   I fixed a lot of the issues but this would be only 
reflected in the final deliverable so I have produced and already sent to 
you a version with comments that highlighted the changes you should 
introduce in the public wiki ASAP (note that this document is marked as 
private).   For your convenience, here it goes the structure of sections 
that should have been adopted:
1.      General Architecture Description of a Chapter: 
1.      Introduction 
2.      Architecture Overview 
3.      <several high-level sections such as "Use Cases" may come here>
4.      Architecture Description of GEs 
5.      Interface to other chapters 
6.      References 
2.      Architecture Description of a given GE: 
1.      Copyright 
2.      Legal Notice 
3.      Overview (Target usage should be inside)
4.      Basic Concepts 
5.      <Name-of-GE> Architecture (recommended but optional, sometimes you 
have put this before "Basic concepts" but it would be nice to keep 
consistency and place it after) 
6.      Main Interactions 
7.      Basic Design Principles 
8.      Detailed Open Specifications (which should contain the links to 
the rest of Open Specifications)
9.      References
  There were also A LOT of inconsistencies regarding level of headings. As 
an example, there were many chapters where there wasn't a second level 
heading.   This was revealed thanks to the automated generation process 
and should be fixed in the wiki asap to avoid wrong generation next times. 
 
  I carried out a final spelling checking to all chapters finding also 
many typos. 
  I have to confess that I got astonished when I saw still those kind of 
issues in a so late stage of the peer-review ...  Didn't nobody notice 
that?   Despite we incurred in a delay, I have now found that it was worth 
carrying out this final review.     Without giving names, when I have 
asked "how can we still find this issues?" in the draft I had just 
reviewed, I got the response "honestly, I believe some people hasn't read 
the contents in that detail".   We honestly have to reconsider how we are 
carrying out our peer-review processes.
  I have also carried out several changes to improve overall readability. 
  The detailed Open Specifications where not included in all cases, even 
within the same chapter, so I have had to put a note to the EC and 
reviewers explaining that we had decided to keep the inclusion by those 
GEs that decided to include it, because we will adopt that convention 
finally.   Therefore, please do so.
  In addition, I also found that the copyright notice in many of the cases 
was only for 2012.   This maybe interpreted by the reviewers as "no single 
line has been touched by the owners this year" when clearly this doesn't 
apply.   Please fix those Copyright Notices where you have to write 
2012-2013 (in the case of new GEs, 2013)
  Last but not least, there are a number of things that I have detected 
about which we have to reach a final agreement and adopt a convention 
across all chapters:
Titles, numbering and format (i.e., centered or not) of figures.   I 
believe that we proposed a convention, and asked to avoid using of figure 
numbers, but apparently hasn't been followed consistently 
Architecture section within a GE Architecture Description 
Style for references 
  We should address all of them once we finish with the most urgent things 
we currently have on our plate, but have them ready at the time we will 
start disseminating this among the wider community of developers.
  Please share with members of your respective chapters.
  Best regards,
-- Juanjo

Submission of FI-WARE Deliverable D.2.3.2 - FI-WARE Architecture

Dear all,

   This is the official submission of deliverable D.2.3.2 FI-WARE 
Architecture.   To ease review of its contents, separate files have been 
produced for the different chapters that made up the whole document.   All 
of these files can be extracted from the .zip file you can download from 
the following URL:
https://forge.fi-ware.eu/docman/view.php/7/2468/D.2.3.2+FI-WARE+Architecture+Official+deliverable.zip
 
   Note that the FI-WARE Architecture specification is public and its 
contents become part of the several FI-WARE GE Open Specifications, 
therefore you can download this file without logging in your FusionForge 
account.   We haven't delivered it earlier to make sure that it was 
aligned with the contents of FI-WARE GE Open Specifications that will be 
delivered along this week (some of them have already been delivered to 
you).

   The FI-WARE Architecture has beed produced conducting several 
peer-reviews and a final whole revision by myself, as chief architect, to 
ensure overall consistency. 

   You will see that the description of the architecture of some GEs ended 
with a sections that provides the links to the Detailed Specifications. 
This doesn't happen in all the cases and will be fixed in subsequent 
releases of the deliverable.   However, we thought it was not critical to 
add them here because you are going to receive them separately.

   Note that specifications are still provided together with an interim 
Legal Notice.   This is because the Legal Notice accompanying 
specifications is still going through a final review by legal 
representatives of the different partners.    This process is about to 
finish, so we don't expect major issues regarding usage by UC projects 
within the FI-PPP or impact in the launch of the FI-WARE Open Innovation 
Lab.   Furthermore, differences between the final and interim Legal 
Notices is rather minor.

   As you know, the FI-WARE GE Open Specifications are constantly updated 
on the FI-WARE public wiki.   You can refer to contents of the public wiki 
for the most up-to-date contents of public documentation associated to the 
FI-WARE project.

   Don't hesitate to contact us in case you have any question.

   Best regards,

-- Juanjo Hierro
