    <p>
      This XEP provides the underlying architecture, basic operations and data structures for sensor data communication over XMPP networks. It includes a hardware abstraction model, removing any
      technical detail implemented in underlying technologies.
    </p>
    <p>
      Note has to be taken, that these XEP's are designed for implementation in sensors, many of which have very limited amount of memory (both RAM and ROM) or resources (processing power).
      Therefore, simplicity is of utmost importance. Furthermore, sensor networks can become huge, easily with millions of devices in peer-to-peer networks.
    </p>
    <p>
      Sensor networks contains many different architectures and use cases. For this reason, the sensor network standards have been divided into multiple XEPs according to the following table:

        <dt>Node</dt>
        <dd>
          Graphs contain nodes and edges between nodes. In Internet of Things, sensors, actuators, meters, devices, gateways, etc., are often depicted as nodes whereas links between sensors (friendships)
          are depicted as edges. In abstract terms, it's easier to talk about a Node, rather than list different possible node types (sensors, actuators, meters, devices, gateways, etc.).
          Each Node has a Node ID.
        </dd>
      </di>
      <di>
        <dt>Node ID</dt>
        <dd>
          An ID uniquely identifying a node within its corresponding context. If a globally unique ID is desired, an architecture should be used using a universally accepted
          ID scheme.

      <di>
        <dt>Parameter</dt>
        <dd>
          Readable and/or writable property on a node/device. The XEP-0326 &xep0326; deals with reading and writing parameters
          on nodes/devices. Fields are not parameters, and parameters are not fields.

      <di>
        <dt>Precision</dt>
        <dd>
          In physics, precision determines the number of digits of precision. In sensor networks however, this definition is not easily applicable. Instead, precision
          determines, for example, the number of decimals of precision, or power of precision. Example: 123.200 MWh contains 3 decimals of precision. All entities parsing and
          delivering field information in sensor networks should always retain the number of decimals in a message.

      </di>
      <di>
        <dt>Sensor</dt>
        <dd>
          Device measuring at least one digital value (0 or 1) or analog value (value with precision and physical unit). Examples: Temperature sensor, pressure sensor, etc.
          Sensor values are reported as fields during read-out. Each sensor has a unique Node ID.

        <dt>SN</dt>
        <dd>Sensor Network. A network consisting, but not limited to sensors, where transport and use of sensor data is of primary concern. A sensor network may contain actuators, network applications, monitors, services, etc.</dd>

        <dd>
          A client, device or user can get a token from a provisioning server. These tokens can be included in requests to other entities in the network, so these entities can validate

    </p>
    <p>
      The read-out request is started by the client sending a <strong>req</strong> request to the device. Here, the client selects a sequence number <strong>seqnr</strong>.
      It should be unique among requests made by the client. The device will use this sequence numbers in all messages sent back to the client.
    </p>
    <p>
      The request also contains a set of <strong>field types</strong> that very roughly determine what the client wants to read. What the client actually will return will be determined by
      a lot of other factors, such as make and model of device, any provisioning rules provided, etc. This parameter just gives a hint on what kind of data is desired. It is implicit in the request
      by the context what kind of data is requested. Examples of field types are: Momentary values, peak values, historical values, computed values, status values, identification values, etc.
    </p>
    <p>
      If reading historical values, the client can also specify an optional time range using the <strong>from</strong> and <strong>to</strong> parameter values, giving the device a hint on
      how much data to return.
    </p>
    <p>
      If the client wants the read-out to be performed at a given point in time, the client can define this using the optional parameter <strong>when</strong>.
    </p>
    <p>
      There's an optional parameter <strong>ids</strong> that the client can provide, listing a set of <strong>Node IDs</strong>. If omitted, the request includes all sensors or devices
      managed by the current JID. But, if the JID is controlled by a system, device or concentrator managing various devices, the <strong>ids</strong> parameter restricts the read-out to
      specific individuals.
    </p>
    <p>
      <strong>Note:</strong> The device is not required to follow the hints given by the client. These are suggestions the client can use to minimize its effort to perform the read-out.
      The client MUST make sure the response is filtered according to original requirements by the client after the read-out response has been received.
    </p>
    <p>
      If the device accepts the client request, it sends an <strong>accepted</strong> response back to the client. The device also has to determine if the read-out is commenced directly,
      or if it is to be queued for later processing. Note that the request can be queued for several reasons. The device can be busy, and queues it until it is ready to process the request.
      It can also queue the request if the client has requested it to be executed at a given time. If the request is queued, the device informs the client of this using the <strong>queued</strong>
      attribute. Note however, that the device will process the request when it can. There's no guarantee that the device will be able to process the request exactly when the client requests it.
    </p>
    <p>
      <strong>Note:</strong> The <strong>accepted</strong> message can be omitted if the device already has the response and is ready to send it. If the client receives field data or a
      <strong>done</strong> message before receiving an <strong>accepted</strong> message, the client can assume the device accepted the request and omitted sending an <strong>accepted</strong>
      element.
    </p>
    <p>
      If the request was queued, the device will send a message informing the client when the read-out is begun. This is done using a <strong>started</strong> message, using the same
      <strong>seqnr</strong> used in the original request.
    </p>
    <p>
      <strong>Note:</strong> Sending a <strong>started</strong> element should be omitted by the device if the request is not queued on the device. If the <strong>queued</strong> attribute
      is omitted in the response, or has the value <strong>false</strong>, the client must not assume the device will send a <strong>started</strong> element.
    </p>
    <p>
      During the read-out, the device sends partial results back to the client using the same <strong>seqnr</strong> as used in the request, using a <strong>fields</strong> message.
      These messages will contain a sequence of fields read out of the device. The client is required to filter this list according to original specifications, as the device is not required
      to do this filtering for the client.
    </p>
    <p>
      When read-out is complete, the device will send a <strong>done</strong> message to the client with the same <strong>seqnr</strong> as in the original request. Since the sender
      of messages in the device at the time of sending might not be aware of if there are more messages to send or not, the device can send this message separately as is shown in the
      diagram. If the device however, knows the last message containing fields is the last, it can set a <strong>done</strong> attribute in the message, to skip this last message.
    </p>
    <p>
      <strong>Note:</strong> There is no guarantee that the device will send a corresponding <strong>started</strong> and <strong>fields</strong> element, even though the request was
      accepted. The device might lose power during the process and forget the request. The client should always be aware of that devices may not respond in time, and take appropriate action
      accordingly (for instance, implementing a retry mechanism).
    </p>
    <p>
      If a failure occurs while performing the read-out, a <strong>failure</strong> message is sent, instead of a corresponding <strong>fields</strong> message, as is shown in the following diagram.
      Apart from notifying the client that a failure to perform the read-out, or part thereof, has occurred, it also provides a list of errors that the device encountered while trying. Note that
      multiple <strong>fields</strong> and <strong>failure</strong> messages can be sent back to the client during the read-out.
    </p>

      The device can also reject a read-out request. Reasons for rejecting a request may be missing privileges defined by provisioning rules, etc. It's not part of this XEP
      to define such rules. A separate XEP (&xep0324;) defines an architecture for how such provisioning can be easily implemented.

        As noticed, a conscious effort has been made not to shorten element and attribute names. This is to make sure, XML is maintained readable. Packet size is not deemed to be
        affected negatively by this for two reasons:
      </p>
      <ul>
        <li>
          For sensors with limited memory, or where package size is important, &xep0322; is supposed to be used.
          EXI compresses strings as normalized index values, making the string appear only once in the packet. Therefore, shortening string length doesn't affect packet
          size much. Element and attribute names in known namespaces are furthermore only encoded by index in schema, not by name.
        </li>
        <li>If limited memory or package size is not a consideration, readability and ease of implementation is preferred to short messages.</li>

    <section2 topic='Enumerations vs. Strings' anchor='enumsvsstrings'>
      <p>
        This protocol has avoided the use of enumerations for data types such as units, field names, etc., and instead use strings. The reasons for this are:
      </p>
      <ul>
        <li>Enumerations would unnecessarily restrict the use of the protocol to field names and units listed in the protocol.</li>
        <li>It would be very difficult to try to create a complete set of field names and units that would suit all applications.</li>
        <li>Leaving these values as strings would let developers the liberty to use units as they desire.</li>
        <li>If EXI is used for compression, the use of strings will only increase payload slightly, with only one copy of each distinct value used.</li>
        <li>If EXI is not used, this does not affect packet size.</li>
      </ul>
      <p>
        However, some things need to be taken into account:
      </p>
      <ul>
        <li>Since free strings are used, XML validation cannot be used to secure correct names are used.</li>
        <li>xep-0000-IoT-Interoperability lists recommendations on how field names and units should be used in order to achieve maximum interoperability in SN.</li>
        <li>Consumers of sensor data need to include unit conversion algorithms.</li>
      </ul>

    <section2 topic='Asynchronous feedback' anchor='asynchfeedback'>
      <p>
        Since some applications require real-time feedback (or as real-time as possible), and read-out might in certain cases take a long time, the device has the option
        to send multiple <strong>fields</strong> messages during read-out. The client is responsible for collecting all such messages until either a <strong>done</strong> message
        is sent, or a corresponding <strong>done</strong> attribute is available in one of the messages received. Only the device knows how many (if any) messages are sent in
        response to a read-out request.

            data types.

            field value data type. It has its own element, to make it harmonous to 32-bit integer control parameters, as defined in XEP-0325. It is also simpler to report and

            optional unit. All parties in the communication chain should retain the number of decimals used, since this contains information that is important
            in the interpretation of a value. For example, 10 °C is different from 10.0 °C, and very different from 10.00 °C. If a sensor delivers the value
            10 °C you can assume it probably lies between 9.5 °C and 10.5 °C. But if a sensor delivers 10.00 °C, it is probably very exact (if calibrated correctly).

    <section2 topic='Harmonization with XEP-0325 (Control)' anchor='harmonization'>
      <p>
        When representing control parameters as momentary field values, it is important to note the similarities and differences between XEP-0323 (this document) and XEP-0325 (Control):
      </p>
      <p>
        The <strong>enum</strong> field value data type is not available in XEP-0325 (Control). Instead enumeration valued parameters are represented as <strong>string</strong> control
        parameters, while the control form explicitly lists available options for the parameter. Options are not available in XEP-0323, since it would not be practical to list all options
        every time the corresponding parameter was read out. Instead, the <strong>enum</strong> element contains a data type attribute, that can be used to identify the type of the enumeration.
      </p>
      <p>
        The <strong>numeric</strong> field value data type is not available in XEP-0325 (Control). The reason is that a controller is not assumed to understand unit conversion. Any
        floating-point valued control parameters are represented by <strong>double</strong> control parameters, which lack a unit attribute. They are assumed to have the same unit as
        the corresponding <strong>numeric</strong> field value. On the other hand, floating point valued control parameters without units, are reported using the <strong>numeric</strong>
        field element, but leaving the unit blank.
      </p>
      <p>
        Control pameters of type <strong>color</strong> have no corresponding field value data type. The color value must be represented in another way, and is implementation specific.
        Possibilities include representing the color as a string, using a specific pattern (for instance RRGGBBAA), or report it using multiple fields, one for each component for instance.
      </p>
      <p>
        The <strong>boolean</strong>, <strong>date</strong>, <strong>dateTime</strong>, <strong>duration</strong>, <strong>int</strong>, <strong>long</strong>, <strong>string</strong>
        and <strong>time</strong> field value data types correspond to control parameters having the same types and same element names.
      </p>
    </section2>
    <section2 topic='Field Types' anchor='fieldtypes'>
      <p>
        There are different types of fields, apart from types of values a field can have. These types are conceptual types, similar to categories. They are not exclusive,
        and can be combined.
      </p>
      <p>
        If requesting multiple field types in a request, the device must interpret this as a union of the corresponding field types and return at least all field values
        that contain at least one of the requested field types. Example: If requesting momentary values and historical values, devices must return both its momentary values
        and its historical values.
      </p>
      <p>
        But, when a device reports a field having multiple field types, the client should interpret this as the intersection of the corresponding field types, i.e. the corresponding
        field has all corresponding field types. Example: A field marked as both a status value and as a historical value is in fact a historical status value.

        There are two field type attributes that can be used in requests to simplify read-out:
      </p>
      <table caption='Special Field Types available in read-out requests'>
        <tr>
          <th>Field Type</th>
          <th>Description</th>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>all</td>
          <td>Reads all types of fields. It is the same as explicitly setting all field type attributes to true.</td>

          <td>If period of historical values is not important, this attribute can be set to include all types of historical values.</td>
        </tr>
      </table>
      <p>
        <strong>Note:</strong> The reason for including different predefined time periods for historical values is that these periods are common in certain
        applications. However, the client is not restricted to these in any way. The client can always just ask for historical values, and do
        filtering as necessary to read out the interval desired.
      </p>
      <p>
        Also, devices are not required to include logic to parse and figure out what historical values are actually desired by the client. If too
        complicated for the device to handle, it is free to report all historical values. However, the device should limit the historical values
        to any interval requested, and should try to limit itself to the field types requested. Information in the request element are seen as hints
        that the device can use to optimize any communication required by the operation.

    <section2 topic='Field Quality of Service Values' anchor='fieldqosvalues'>
      <p>
        In applications where quality of service is important, a field must always be accompanied with a corresponding quality of service flag. Devices should
        set these accordingly. If no quality of service flag is set on a field, the client can assume <strong>automaticReadout</strong> is true.
      </p>
      <p>
        Note that quality of service flags are not exclusive. Many of them can be logically be combined. Some also imply an order of importance. This should be kept in mind
        when trying to overwrite existing values with read values: An estimate should not overwrite an automatic read-out, an automatic read-out not a signed value, and a signed value
        not an invoiced value, etc.

      <section3 topic='Estimates vs. Readouts' anchor='estimatesvsreadouts'>
        <p>
          A note on the difference between estimates and readouts. There are many cases where a proper value in a sensor or meter cannot be sensed correctly, and
          only estimated. As an example: Consider a water meter calculating the flow of water passing vane generating pulses as the wheel turns. The frequency of pulses
          correspond to the flow of water, or inversely, the time between pulses correspond inversely to the flow of water. But what happens when the flow slows down
          and pulses are not received? How can the meter differ between zero flow, and a little flow until a pulse is received?
        </p>
        <p>
          What a meter can do is estimate a flow value that would correspond to the inverse of the time passed since last received pulse. This estimate would slowly
          decrease to zero if no flow is available, but would be correct if a pulse finally would be received, thus causing a smoother measurement of the flow.
          However, the value reported would not be an actual measurement or readout, but an estimate of the value.
        </p>
        <p>
          It's important that such estimates are flagged as such, so that readers know the value is not a measurement but an estimate. Consider an application that monitors
          water meters to detect leakage. If a water meter always measures flow, and never decreases to zero flow, it might be logically assumed there's a leakage or
          bad valves somewhere. However, if meters as described above are used, flow might perhaps never reach zero, simply because it reports a value that's inversely
          proportional to the time passed since last pulse. It might be close to zero over long periods of time, but never reach zero. To avoid the application generating
          leakage alarms in case such meters were used, the application can be made to ignore estimates and only monitor values that have been correctly measured.

    <section2 topic='Subnodes and supernodes' anchor='subsupernodes'>
      <p>
        This document does not go into detail on how devices are ordered behind a JID. Some of the examples have assumed a single device lies behind a JID, others
        that multiple devices exist behind a JID. Also, no order or structure of devices has been assumed.
      </p>
      <p>
        But it can be mentioned that it is assumed that if a client requests a read-out of a supernode, it implies the read-out of all its subnodes. Therefore, the
        client cannot expect read-out to be limited to the devices listed explicitly in a request, as nodes implicitly implied, as descendant nodes of the selected nodes,
        can also be included.
      </p>
      <p>
        More information about how multiple devices behind a JID can be handled, is described in the XEP-0326

    <section2 topic='Reading devices from large subsystems' anchor='largesubsystems'>
      <p>
        All examples in this document have been simplified examples where a few devices containing a few fields have been read. However, in many cases large subsystems with
        very many sensors containing many fields have to be read, as is documented in <link url='http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0326.html'>Internet of Things - Concentrators</link>.
        In such cases, a node may have to be specified using two or perhaps even three ID's: a <strong>sourceId</strong> identifying the data source controlling the device, a possible
        <strong>cacheType</strong> narrowing down the search to a specific kind of node, and the common <strong>nodeId</strong>. For more information about this, see
        <link url='http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0326.html'>Internet of Things - Concentrators</link>.
      </p>
      <p>
        <strong>Note:</strong> For cases where the <strong>nodeId</strong> is sufficient to uniquely identify the node, it is sufficient to provide this attribute in the request.
        If there is ambiguity in the request, the receptor must treat the request as a request with a set of nodes, all with the corresponding <strong>nodeId</strong> as requested.

    <section2 topic='Reading controllable parameter values' anchor='control'>
      <p>
        If reading field values from a device that also supports control through &xep0325;, the device can report current control parameter values as momentary or status field values,
        using field names corresponding to its control parameter names. However, such values would probably only correspond to a subset of all data read out. To help the reader
        to know what fields correspond to controllable parameters, the optional <strong>writable</strong> attribute can be used in responsens. If this attribute is available, it
        tells the client if the field corresponds to a control parameter with the same name on the device. If the attribute is not available, no deduction can be made if a control
        parameter with the same name exists or not on the device.

    <section2 topic='Time Zones' anchor='timezones'>
      <p>
        All timestamps and dateTime values use the XML data type xs:dateTime to specify values. These values include a date, an optional time and an optional time zone.
      </p>
      <p>
        <strong>Note:</strong> If time zone is not available, it is supposed to be undefined. The client reading the sensor that reports fields without time zone information
        should assume the sensor has the same time zone as the client, if not explicitly configured otherwise on the client side.
      </p>
      <p>
        If devices report time zone, this information should be propagated throughout the system. Otherwise, comparing timestamps from different time zones will be impossible.

    <section2 topic='Localized strings' anchor='localization'>
      <p>
        This specification allows for localization of field names in meter data read-out. This is performed by assigning each localizable string a <strong>String ID</strong>
        which should be unique within a given <strong>Language Module</strong>. A <strong>Language Module</strong> can be any string, including URI's or namespace names.
        The XEP <link url='xep-0000-IoT-Interoperability.html'>xep-0000-IoT-Interoperability</link> details how such localizations can be made in an interoperable way.
      </p>
      <p>
        <strong>Note:</strong> Localization of strings are for human consumption only. Machines should use the unlocalized strings in program logic.
      </p>
      <p>
        The following example shows how a device can report localized field information that can be presented to end users without systems being preprogrammed
        to recognize the device. Language modules can be aggregated by operators after installation, or installed as a pluggable module after the main installation,
        if localization is desired.

      </example>
      <p>
        The above example defines a language module called <strong>Watchamacallit</strong>. In this language module it defines four strings, with IDs 1-4. A system might store these as follows,
        where the system replaces all <strong>%N%</strong> with a conceptual n:th parameter. (It's up to the system to define these strings, any syntax and how to handle input and output.). In
        this example, we will assume <strong>%0%</strong> means any previous output, and <strong>%1%</strong> any seed value provided. (See below).
      </p>
      <table caption='Example string IDs'>
        <tr>
          <th>ID</th>
          <th>String</th>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>1</td>
          <td>Temperature</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>2</td>
          <td>%0%, Min</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>3</td>
          <td>%0%, Max</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>4</td>
          <td>%0%, Mean</td>
        </tr>
      </table>
      <p>
        So, when the client reads the field name <strong>Temperature, Min</strong>, it knows that the field name is the composition of the string <strong>Temperature</strong>, and
        the string <strong>%0%, Min</strong>, where it will replace <strong>%0%</strong> with the output of the previous step, in this case <strong>Temperature</strong>.
        These strings can later be localized to different languages by operators of the system, and values presented when reading the device, can be done in a language
        different from the one used by the sensor.
      </p>
      <p>
        <strong>Note:</strong> The XEP <link url='xep-0000-IoT-Interoperability.html'>xep-0000-IoT-Interoperability</link> details how such localizations can be made in an interoperable way.
      </p>
      <p>
        The <strong>stringIds</strong> attribute merits some further explanation. The value of this attribute must match the following regular expression:
      </p>
      <code>
        ^\d+([|]\w+([.]\w+)*([|][^,]*)?)?(,\d+([|]\w+([.]\w+)*([|][^,]*)?)?)*$
      </code>
      <p>
        This basically means, it's of the format: ID_1[|[Module_1][|Seed_1]][...[,ID_n[|[Module_n][|Seed_n]]]]
      </p>
      <p>
        Where brackets [] mean the contents inside is optional, <strong>ID_i</strong> is an integer representing the string ID in a language module. <strong>Module_i</strong>
        is optional and allows for specifying a module for <strong>ID_i</strong>, if different from the module defined in the <strong>module</strong> attribute. <strong>Seed_i</strong>
        allows for seeding the generation of the localized string with a value. This might come in handy when generating strings like <strong>Input 5</strong>, where you don't want to
        create localized strings for every input there is.
      </p>
      <p>
        Why such a complicated syntax? The reason is the following: Most localized strings are simple numbers, without the need of specifying modules and seeds. This makes
        it very efficient to store it as an attribute instead of having to create subelements for every localized field. It's an exception to the rule, to need multiple steps
        or seeds in the generation of localized strings. Therefore, attributes is an efficient means to specify localization. However, in the general case, a single string ID
        is not sufficient and multiple steps are required, some seeded.

  <section1 topic='Security Considerations' anchor='security'>
    <p>
      This document has not touched upon security in sensor networks. There are mainly three concerns that implementers of sensor networks need to consider:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li>
        Communication should be restricted to friends as long as possible. Approved friendships provide a mechanism of limiting sensor information to authorized and authenticated users.
        However, there are cases where multicast messages may want to go outside of recognized friendships. More information about such use cases, see the
        XEP <link url='xep-0000-IoT-Multicast.html'>xep-0000-IoT-Multicast</link>.
      </li>
      <li>
        Sensors may have very limited user interfaces. Even though installation of sensor networks is beyond the scope of this document, a simple installation scheme may include a
        single LED on the sensor that lights up for a time after receiving a friendship request. If a user presses a button on the device while the LED is lit, the friendship request
        is acknowledged, and communication is authorized.
      </li>
      <li>
        More advanced access rights, privileges, automatic friendship recognition, etc., may be managed by a third party. How to implement more advanced provisioning and detailed
        access rights to sensor information is detailed in the XEP-0324 <link url='http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0324.html'>Internet of Things - Provisioning</link>. In short, a device, service or user can get a
        <strong>deviceToken</strong>, <strong>serviceToken</strong> and <strong>userToken</strong> respectivelly from a provisioning server. The service or device then uses these tokens
        in all readout requests and the device being read out can in turn use these tokens to validate access rights with the provisioning server.
