With ACPN bearing down on us, I’m going to be unable to make tomorrow’s call. And next week we’ll be no better off in our day jobs. For that reason, let’s hold off until after ACPN to have a new technical call, which I’ll post up here once we’re all safely back in our respective… Continue reading No Technical Call 2022-05-05 or 2022-05-12

This week will be a working session, particularly revisiting the topic of granulating data with a non-UUID method like part number. Last week we confirmed that this is an important method because some organizations will need to do part-based data updates to slot into existing integration processes. This part number granulation is going to cross… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2022-04-28

This week we’ll talk about the challenges of granulating ACES at the part level to safely handle part branding, a similar challenge facing PIES data. Also, I’ve been working on a formalized strategy specification and will run through that before we get into the deepest of the weeds elsewhere. Come join us at our usual… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2022-04-21

This week’s meeting might be a bit short, as I haven’t had a lot of time to devote to Sandpiper. However, I do have a few nascent ideas about granulating ACES that I’ll sketch out, and answer any questions that may have come up in your work too. Come join us at our usual time… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2022-04-13

Just a quick note to say that we will not be holding our technical call this week; I’m on the road and won’t have access to a quiet environment with a stable internet connection. We’ll resume as usual next week!

This week we’re going to have a working session where we begin to formally define the basic ACES granulation strategy. We had some good feedback from Aaron at Opticat, who suggested a few interesting possible avenues to explore, so if he’s game I’d love to go further into that. One way or another, we’ll close… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2022-03-24

This week we’ll continue the discussion of granulation strategies. Last week we decided that the minimum viable deliverable would be ACES XML and PIES XML, with assets themselves already being possible at Level 2 (via the asset-files grain type). We decided that the best method would be to handle the granulation strategies themselves as an… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2022-03-17

This week we’ll go over the documentation additions I made, and then consider which granulation strategies should be defined first. Last week we decided that we need to start focusing on and talking about the Level 2 parts of Sandpiper, and we are missing an explicit recommendation for granulating a set of minimum-viable industry standards.… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2022-03-10

This week we’ll meet at our new time (9:00am US Central). We had some good discussions with a system provider that highlighted the need to better lay out the Level 1 use case and why it matters for adoption. And with ACPN coming up we’ll talk about how to best connect with other technical people… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2022-03-03
