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

Hi Juergen

I'm not sure I can share a LWM2M definition files since peoples need fill a form to get access to them, see the following link.

http://technical.openmobilealliance.org/Technical/technical-information/release-program/current-releases/oma-lightweightm2m-v1-0

I didn't go through a formal mapping between these two modeling languages but following is what this mapping might look like:

LWM2M                | YANG
---------------------+---------------
<Object>             | module
<Name>               | module name
<Description1>       | description
<MultipleInstances>  | list if true, container if false
<Mandatory>          | mandatory
<Item>               | leaf if <MultipleInstances> is true, leaf-list if false
 <Name>              | leaf name
 <Operations>        | config
 <MultipleInstances> | See <Item>
 <Mandatory>         | mandatory
 <Type>              | type
 <RangeEnumeration>  | range or enum
 <Units>             | units
 <Description>       | description

Regards,
Michel

These are pretty bold statements. Claiming something is simple and knowing something is simple are sometimes different things. Have you worked throught the details? Is there a decent public definition of the 'simpler (subset) modeling language'? And with public I mean public, not hidden behind all sorts of registration walls.
