Meeting Minutes #7

→ Approved

API proposal review (2)

Issue#14

Ericsson: Response content should follow the expected as in the API name, it is, density instead of population count

Discussion: Analyze offline to make sure that API response is aligned with API name

  •  

    •  

      • Or to change the API name to count

      • Or to change the response unit from people/cell to people/km2

Issue to be closed when PR #14 is merged

Issue#23

Definition of API response parameters, to be reviewed

To include definitions proposed by Gregory: 

  • use "pplDensity" - for predicted population density in a grid cell

  • use "minPplDensity" - for minimal predicted population density in a grid cell

  • use "maxPplDensity" - for maximal predicted population density in a grid cell

Issue to be closed when new PR is merged

Issue#24

Authentication/security discussion opened around the usage of 2-3 legged access tokens for this API(s).

  • API, as not including personal data (anonymized), is to be considered as a 2-legged access token.

  • To review if API specification needs to be modified accordingly @Ludovic Robert 

Issue to be closed when clarified

PR#25

Solving Issue#12

 

PR#26

Fixing Issue#14

 

Initial algorithm proposal (3)

Issue#12

Population Density API - Algorithm.pdf

→ To provide feedback

Question: how to proceed?

To document that this is just a proposal of algorithm steps that can be considered as reference. It is included in API supporting documents, not binding.

Clarify the step of removing non-personal devices from the device count, not using M2M reference

AoB (4)

RC to be created as stable issues are closed. 

  • Meta-release alignment with commonalities to be integrated as soon as they are published.

Scope for a second version to be discussed.

Discussion Summary

To be closed when PR #26 is merged

Issue#23

API response parameters

Proposal to be included in the specification by PR

Issue#24

Documentation of API Algorithm

To be reviewed offline

PR#26

Solving #14

To be merged

AoB

RC version to be proposed

To propose RC version as soon as issues and current PRs are closed.
