oneIoTa alternatives

Welcome to the IoTDataModels wiki!

Since we fairly regularly run into problems with oneIoTa around release time, a few of us decided to explore alternatives. Most of the problems we face are around fixing models that were accepted, but have problems or tagging things that shouldn't have been tagged. Fixing these sorts of problems is not very difficult in git, but is a feature that is not really implemented in oneIoTa. Additionally, since oneIoTa has essentially a write-only interface to git, it is surprisingly difficult to keep oneIoTa synched with git and accurate to what we want in a release.

The proposed solution is to take advantage of updates no included in GitHub and features available in tools like Visual Studio Code, Atom, GitHub desktop and similar editors that can be associated with a git repository.

I have listed some initial requirements and experimented with some implementations. I will publish my work in upcoming posts and expect to use this Wiki to refine those solutions with your help.

Thanks, -Clarke
