OpenNESS overview and Q&A

Group - AF and NEF API discussion
Tim - nature of closed source behind AF and NEF APIs, is it for platform-to-platform communication ?
Tina - what versioning is used ?  Neal - none yet
Tim - host routing and URI content are options
Group - discussion about authentication, Neal - APIs must authenticate, Jiafeng - is Intel is  using OAUTH protocol, Neal - no
Jane - how can we avoid incompatibility between application API data models, for example OpenNESS compared to MobileEdgeX

API portal discussion notes

Jane - shared MindMap generated HTML that she may use for the portal
Dan - some apps need infrastructure info from APIs, an example is an AR/VR “app manager” or framework. They are still an app but they manage other  apps. Should the app enabler in the white paper diagrams reflect this ?
Dan - Chronos OpenXR is an example
Jeff - the current API portal content on api.akraino.org is hosted on MobileEdgeX servers. We will need Akraino web guys to add ToC links at top for 2 main categories: APIs for mobile app developers and infrastructure app developers
Tina - OpenGL ES2.0 and ES3.x APIs are needed by IEC blueprint
