Re: Back to terminology

Jorge,

Nice work! I think this summarizes the discussions very well.

I understand this is the terminology of "players" in the geopriv framework
and in that sense, I think the terminology fully covers the subject. Here
are some questions?

- I think the entire description, especiallly Location server, is based on
the pull scenario (I hate this word...). Don't we need to consider the
scenario in which the owners take initiative to send their location to
trusted parties, for example, sending the location to family, in case of
emergency?

- In the terminlogy, one target has only one owner. That means that, in case
of group ownership, a person represents others. This may be a big design
decision but I think there should be a work around in implementation.

- I agree with Axel on Item 5. To me, the police and others are just
Recipient with special authorization class.

- Could you explain Item 6 in further detail? It does not seem to be
carriers, since you mentioned them in the Location Data Source description.
Then what are they?

- Just to cofirm... When asking my carrier for my location with my cell
phone:
     + I am the Owner and (private and ultimate) Location Recipient
     + The cell phone is the Target
     + The carrier is Location Data Source and Location Server

  Am I right??

Regards,

Kenji
