            Semantic Definition Format (SDF): Mapping files
                     draft-ietf-asdf-sdf-mapping-00

Abstract

   The Semantic Definition Format (SDF) is a format for domain experts
   to use in the creation and maintenance of data and interaction models
   that describe Things, i.e., physical objects that are available for
   interaction over a network.  It was created as a common language for
   use in the development of the One Data Model liaison organization
   (OneDM) models.  Tools convert this format to database formats and
   other serializations as needed.

   An SDF specification often needs to be augmented by additional
   information that is specific to its use in a particular ecosystem or
   application.  SDF mapping files provide a mechanism to represent this
   augmentation.

Internet-Draft                 SDF Mapping                 December 2025


1.  Introduction

   The Semantic Definition Format (SDF) is a format for domain experts
   to use in the creation and maintenance of data and interaction models
   that describe Things, i.e., physical objects that are available for
   interaction over a network.  It was created as a common language for
   use in the development of the One Data Model liaison organization
   (OneDM) models.  Tools convert this format to database formats and
   other serializations as needed.

   An SDF specification often needs to be augmented by additional
   information that is specific to its use in a particular ecosystem or
   application.  SDF mapping files provide a mechanism to represent this
   augmentation.

1.1.  Terminology and Conventions

   The definitions of [I-D.ietf-asdf-sdf] apply.

   The term "byte" is used in its now-customary sense as a synonym for
   "octet".

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   [BCP14] (RFC2119) (RFC8174) when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

2.  Overview

   An SDF mapping file provides augmentation information for one or more
   SDF models.  Its main contents is a map from SDF name references
   (Section 4.3 of [I-D.ietf-asdf-sdf]) to a set of qualities.

   When processing the mapping file together with one or more SDF
   models, these qualities are added to the SDF model at the referenced
   name, as in a merge-patch operation [RFC7396].  Note that this is
   somewhat similar to the way sdfRef (Section 4.4 of
   [I-D.ietf-asdf-sdf]) works, but in a mapping file the arrows point in
   the inverse direction (from the augmenter to the augmented).

2.1.  Example Model 1 (ecosystem: IPSO/OMA)

   An example for an SDF mapping file is given in Figure 1.  This
   mapping file is meant to attach to an SDF specification published by
   OneDM, and to add qualities relevant to the IPSO/OMA ecosystem.
   // Note that this example uses namespaces to identify elements of
   // the referenced specification(s), but has un-namespaced quality
   // names.  These two kinds of namespaces are unrelated in SDF, and a
   // more robust example may need to make use of Quality Name Prefixes
   // as defined in Section 2.3.3-3 of [I-D.ietf-asdf-sdf] (independent
   // of a potential feature to add namespace references to definitions
   // that are not intended to go into the default namespace — these are
   // SDF definition namespaces and not quality namespaces, which are
   // one meta-level higher).

   *  Start of a mapping file for certain OneDM playground models:

   {
     "info": {
       "title": "IPSO ID mapping"
     },
     "namespace": {
       "onedm": "https://onedm.org/models"
     },
     "defaultNamespace": "onedm",
     "map": {
       "#/sdfObject/Digital_Input": {
         "id": 3200
       },
       "#/sdfObject/Digital_Input/sdfProperty/Digital_Input_State": {
         "id": 5500
       },
       "#/sdfObject/Digital_Input/sdfProperty/Digital_Input_Counter": {
         "id": 5501
       }
     }
   }

             Figure 1: A simple example of an SDF mapping file

2.2.  Example Model 2 (ecosystem: W3C WoT)

   This example shows a translation of a hypothetical W3C WoT Thing
   Model (as defined in Section 10 of [W3C.wot-thing-description11])
   into an SDF model plus a mapping file to catch Thing Model attributes
   that don't currently have SDF qualities defined (namely, titles and
   descriptions members used for internationalization).

   A second mapping file is more experimental in that it captures
   information that is actually instance-specific, in this case a forms
   member that binds the status property to an instance-specific CoAP
   resource.
   // Namespaces are all wrong in this example.

   The form really should be part of the class level; defining the
   entire form instead of just the link in the instance information is a
   symptom of not yet getting the class/instance boundary right.

3.  Formal Syntax of SDF mapping files

   An SDF mapping file has three optional components that are taken
   unchanged from SDF: The info block, the namespace declaration, and
   the default namespace.  The mandatory fourth component, the "map",
   contains the mappings from an SDF name reference (usually a namespace
   and a JSON pointer) to a nested map providing a set of qualities to
   be merged in at the site identified in the name reference.

   Figure 6 describes the syntax of SDF mapping files using CDDL
   [RFC8610].

   start = sdf-mapping

   sdf-mapping = {
    ; info will be required in most process policies
    ? info: sdfinfo
    ? namespace: named<text>
    ? defaultNamespace: text
    map: { * global-sdf-pointer => additionalqualities}
   }

   ; we can't really be much more specific here:
   additionalqualities = named<any>

   ; --------------------------------- import from SDF-base:

   sdfinfo = {
    ? title: text
    ? description: text
    ? version: text
    ? copyright: text
    ? license: text
    ? modified: modified-date-time
    ? features: [
                  * (any .feature "feature-name") ; EXTENSION-POINT
                ]
    optional-comment
    EXTENSION-POINT<"info-ext">
   }

   ; Shortcut for a map that gives names to instances of X
   ; (has keys of type text and values of type X)
   named<X> = { * text => X }

   ; EXTENSION-POINT is only used in framework syntax
   EXTENSION-POINT<f> = ( * (quality-name .feature f) => any )
   quality-name = text .regexp "([a-z][a-z0-9]*:)?[a-z$][A-Za-z$0-9]*"

   The JSON pointer that is used on the left-hand side of the map can
   point to a JSON map in the SDF model to be augmented by adding or
   replacing map entries.  If necessary, the JSON map is created at the
   position indicated with the contents of right-hand side of the map
   // (add examples).  Alternatively, the JSON pointer can point to an
   array (also possibly created if not existing before) and add an
   element to that array by using the "-" syntax introduced in the
   penultimate paragraph of Section 4 of [RFC6901].

4.  Augmentation Mechanism

   An SDF model and a compatible mapping file can be combined to create
   an _augmented_ SDF model.  (This process can be repeated with
   multiple mapping files by using the outcome of one augmentation as
   the input of the next one.)  As augmentation is not equal to
   instantiation, augmented SDF models are still abstract in nature, but
   are enriched with ecosystem-specific information.

      |  Note that it might be necessary to specify an augmentation
      |  mechanism for instance descriptions as well at a later point in
      |  time, once it has been decided what the instance description
      |  format might look like and whether such a format is needed.

   The augmentation mechanism is related to the resolution mechanism
   defined in Section 4.4 of [I-D.ietf-asdf-sdf], but fundamentally
   different:

   Instead of a model file reaching out to other model files and
   integrating aspects into itself via sdfRef (_pull_ approach), the
   mapping file _pushes_ information into a new copy of a specific given
   SDF model.  The original SDF model does not need to know which
   mapping files it will be used with and can be used with several such
   mapping files independently of each other.

   An augmented SDF model is produced from two inputs: An SDF model and
   a compatible mapping file, i.e. every JSON pointer within the keys of
   the mapping file's map object points to a location that already
   exists within the SDF model.  To perform the augmentation, a
   processor needs to create a copy of the original SDF model.  It then
   iterates over all entries within the mapping file's map object [in an
   order to be specified; probably lexicographical].  During each
   iteration, the processor first obtains a reference to the target
   referred to by the JSON pointer contained an entry's key.  This
   reference is then used as the Target argument of the JSON Merge Patch
   algorithm [RFC7396] and the entry's value as the Patch argument; the
   target is replaced with the result of the merge-patch.

   Once the iteration has finished, the processor returns the resulting
   augmented SDF model.  Should the resolution of a JSON pointer or an
   application of the JSON Merge Patch algorithm fail, an error is
   thrown instead.

      |  Note that, in contrast to an array, the entries of a JSON
      |  object are considered unordered, which means that the sequence
      |  in which the map entries are applied is implementation-
      |  dependent.  For this reason, we need to make sure that the
      |  contents of mapping files can be applied independently of each
      |  other.  (We need to understand the onus in ensuring this that
      |  is put on author of a mapping file.)
      |  
      |  The problem can be "avoided" by changing the data structure
      |  used by the map quality to an array of objects to ensure a
      |  deterministic application order.  This would essentially put
      |  most of the onus on the author of a mapping file to get any
      |  order dependencies right.  More preferable would be to ensure
      |  the entries in the mapping file can be applied independently
      |  and in any order.  More discussion and implementation
      |  experience is required.

   An example for an augmented SDF model can be seen in Figure 7.  This
   is the result of applying the WoT-specific mapping file from Figure 4
   to the SDF model shown in Figure 3.  This augmented SDF model is one
   step away from being converted to a WoT Thing Model or Thing
   Description, which requires some information that cannot be provided
   in an SDF model that is limited to the vocabulary defined in the SDF
   base specification.

      |  Since the pair of an SDF model and a mapping file is equivalent
      |  in semantics to the augmented model created from the two, there
      |  is no fundamental difference between specifying aspects in the
      |  SDF model or leaving them in a mapping file.  Also, parts of an
      |  ecosystem-specific vocabulary may in fact be mappable to the
      |  SDF base vocabulary.  Therefore, developing the mapping between
      |  SDF and an ecosystem requires careful consideration which of
      |  the features should be available to other ecosystems and
      |  therefore should best be part of the common SDF model, and
      |  which are best handled in a mapping file specific to the
      |  ecosystem.

4.1.  Logging Augmentation

   Since an augmented model is not fundamentally different from any
   other SDF model, it may be necessary to trace the provenance of the
   information that flowed into it, e.g., in the info block.  For this
   purpose, a new quality called augmentationLog is introduced that
   contains an array of URIs pointing to the mapping files that have
   been used to augment the original SDF file (which can also be
   indicated via the originalSdfModel quality).  These additional
   qualities allow for reproducing the augmentation process.

   For logging while performing an augmentation, the processor has to
   perform the following steps:

   1.  If the info block is not present in the model that is being
       augmented, the processor creates it.

   2.  If the info block does not contain an augmentationLog quality,
       the processor performs the following steps:

       1.  If the originalSdfModel quality is not present in the info
           block, the processor adds it with a URI that can be used to
           access the SDF model that is currently being augmented as its
           value.

       2.  The processor creates the augmentationLog quality with an
           array containing URIs that can be used to access the current
           mapping file as its sole item.

   3.  Otherwise, if augmentationLog does not contain an array, stop and
       throw an error.

   4.  Otherwise, the processor adds a URI that can be used to access
       the current mapping file to the array of the augmentationLog
       quality.
