Description
Summary: Number of Services an SDO can provide: The minimum number of services an SDO can provide is not clear. An SDO can provide more than one services but it also may not provide any services. According to the Resource Data Model pictured in section 2.2.1, p.2-3, an SDO can have ‘0..n’ ServiceProfile objects; that is, an SDO can have 0..n services. In the table in section 2.2.8 (ServiceProfile) on p. 2-12, in describing ‘id’ it is said: “An SDO can provide one or more services[…]”. This might confuse readers concerning the minimum number of services an SDO can provide. An SDO may provide any number of services and may not provide any service at all. to make this clear the definitions of ServiceProfile and the definition of ‘id’ in the above described table should be updated.
