[auto-iwg] Open Measurement Data WG vs. Auto WG?

[UOMo <uomo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

As both Mike and also UOMo comitter Chris Senior (in a JSR 363 related mailing list) mentioned the idea of a ASAM Open Measurement Data Working Group, I was wondering how it relates to this one? (Automotive)

There is practically no standard or member of ASAM outside the Automotive industry and current Auto WG Members, so what is the rational behind (yet) another WG here?

The propposed charter (https://www.eclipse.org/org/workinggroups/mdmwg_charter.php) mentions no other WG although it seems almost every other like Auto, IoT or PolarSys as well as Science, (if the "Measurement" is related to general Measurement units, like http://www.asam.net/fileadmin/documents/News/11_30_AMS_jBEAM-ODS-Novi-2012.pdf among otehr ASAM documents strongly suggest) should be.

NetCDF which above PDF refers to includes a "fork" of JSR 108, the first of 3 Unit JSRs, you can consider it a great-grandfather of JSR 363/Unit-API.

So where Open Measurement Data WG was open to include existing (Technology) projects similar to what we heard about Science recently, it sounded like a good match for OUMo. 

Question is, why are none ot the other WGs including this one are not mentioned so far?

Cheers,

Werner
