Re: [core] ? WG adoption of draft-veillette-core-yang-cbor-mapping-00

[Michel Veillette <[e-mail]>]

Hi Juergen

The extract I have provided is from a publically available document, see:
https://www.iab.org/wp-content/IAB-uploads/2016/03/ipso-paper.pdf

My remark about the LWM2M modeling language was just to highlight that such language don't necessary imply code generation.

Regards,
Michel

Then I can't help.

The devil is usually in the details but since there is no public specification I do not know. It sounds somewhat surprising that an '<Object>' would equate a YANG module but then I simply do not know.
Only someone who has access to the specifications and who can get clearance to write about a mapping according to IETF rules can work on this.
