The IESG has approved the following document: - 'FETCH & PATCH with Sensor Measurement Lists (SenML)' (draft-ietf-core-senml-etch-07.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Constrained RESTful Environments Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adam Roach, Alexey Melnikov and Barry Leiba. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-core-senml-etch/ Technical Summary The Sensor Measurement Lists (SenML) media type and data model can be used to send collections of resources, such as batches of sensor data or configuration parameters. The existing media types (defined in RFC 8428) are useful for the traditional operations GET, PUT, POST. The CoAP iPATCH, PATCH, and FETCH methods enable accessing and updating parts of a resource or multiple resources with one request. For using these methods to access and operate on resources represented with the SenML data model, the present document defines variants of the SenML media types, for JSON and CBOR representations only. Working Group Summary Most of the discussion in the WG (up to and including the last call) centered around whether the existing media types should be shoe-horned into use with the new methods or new media types were needed. In the end, having a simple way to apply a slight variant won out over having a more complex way to apply something that is nominally, but not really SenML. Christian Amsüss was kind enough to summarize his view of the result of the discussion into a Wiki page: https://github.com/core-wg/wiki/wiki/On-media-types-for-FETCH-and-(i)PATCH which will be useful in avoiding revisiting the issues when they inevitably come up for the next media type. Document Quality Implementations of this media type will often be done in the context of the OMA LWM2M specification, which is set to pick up the new media types in future versions (1.1.1 hints: "The media types, application/senml-etch+json and application/senml-etch+cbor, will remove the requirement for context aware parsing."). None of the implementations this shepherd is aware of is public yet: one existing implementation, and one implementation that is in the product plan of a vendor.
