Hello again,

This is another draft that we'd like to get feedback on. It is yet another component that the authors have used in their work around small and smart devices. The goal is to define a base data format that sensors and other Internet of Things devices can easily use, preferably without having to define entirely new schemes and different structures just to measure a slightly different thing.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-jennings-senml-08

The abstract says:

    This specification defines media types for representing simple sensor
    measurements and device parameters in the Sensor Markup Language
    (SenML).  Representations are defined in JavaScript Object Notation
    (JSON), eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and Efficient XML
    Interchange (EXI), which share the common SenML data model.  A simple
    sensor, such as a temperature sensor, could use this media type in
    protocols such as HTTP or CoAP to transport the measurements of the
    sensor or to be configured.

Comments appreciated. Necessary? Correctly defined? Improvement suggestions?
