Re: [core] [SenML] Multiple values in a measurement

[Michael Koster <[e-mail]>]

Oh, OK. 

I see the statement in 4.2
   Name:  Name of the sensor or parameter.  When appended to the Base
      Name field, this must result in a globally unique identifier for
      the resource.
I'm a little confused by what is a resource and what is a senml pack. I guess each senl pack needs to be bound to some globally unique resource?

How would I validate that?

Also, Is the example in the RFC wrong? This doesn't resolve to a globally unique identifier 

   [
     {"bn":"2001:db8::2/","bt":1.320078429e+09,
      "n":"temperature","u":"Cel","v":25.2},
     {"n":"humidity","u":"%RH","v":30},
     {"bn":"2001:db8::1/","n":"temperature","u":"Cel","v":12.3},
     {"n":"humidity","u":"%RH","v":67}
   ]

To summarize, it seems overly restrictive to the general use of senml to require that each senml pack be identified with a globally unique resource. (please correct me if I mis-stated this)

Best regards,

MIchael
