ICAR Animal Data Exchange Working Group – Technical meeting 6 May 2021

• In attendance: Anton H, Craig V, Erwin S, Thomas P, Sven S, Kor O, Arjan L

Agenda:

1. Focus on the release 1.2
2. Issue 191 - how to proceed

1. Focus on the release 1.2

Anton states they need partial processing capability for the batch POST. This is not available in the PR from Andrew (single POST, transactional batch). Next to that there are doubts if also Collections (paging) is needed in a batch POST. The proposed response is not really future proof (if we also want partial batch POST). An option is to define all fields in the response as optional, so i is not needed to return the complete resource. Errors have to be returned in some way.

Conclusion : Anton and Thomas will prepare a proposal with some examples for next meeting. So we can better understand en view if we can find some common standard for prtial and trasactional batch POST.

Arjan will combine the issues 207 and 99 regarding the process of publishing the release in a WIKI page.

We will indicate for which code generators we will test the definition. In short Arjan will test a java generator, and Anton a dotnet generator. We found in Craig a volunteer for the php generator ;-) - just kidding ...

2. Issue 191 - how to proceed

It would be interesting to first get some more countries to add their code lists in this respect, before we try to find a common ground.

Next meeting scheduled for 17 June 2021 at 8:15am CET
