PAP 04 DescriptionDevelop Common Mechanism for
Communications Schedule and Interval for Energy
Transactions

• For human interactions and human scheduling,
  ICalendar format is used.
• There is no equivalent standard for use in web
  services.
• Goal of this action plan is to develop a standard
  for how schedule and event information is
  communicated between and within services.
• The standard should support all of the
  functionality currently supported by ICalendar
  for application to the completion of a web
  service contract.
• Bring a common scheduling operation to diverse
  contracts in different domains.

PAP 04 Objectives

• Engage key participants from domains from Survey
  work to date and determine short-list precursors.
  
• Determine plan to expedite development of
  specifications to standards.
• Develop a plan for cross-referencing schedules
  and other documents/contracts in a message.

PAP 04 Document Ready For Comment

• On September 30, 2009, the National Institute of
  Standards and Technology officially assigned
  NAESB the responsibility to develop Requirements
  and Use Cases pertinent to Priority Action Plan
  items 3, 4 and 9.
• Recommendation contains a set of requirements
  relating to the use of date and time based data
  elements that are used in transactions for Demand
  Response Programs.
• This standard representation for date/time based
  data elements, would possibly be an XML
  representation of Icalendar date/times.
