Technical Summary

This specification defines media types for representing simple sensor
measurements and device parameters in the Sensor Measurement Lists
(SenML).  Representations are defined in JavaScript Object Notation
(JSON), Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR), eXtensible
Markup Language (XML), and Efficient XML Interchange (EXI), which
share the common SenML data model.  A simple sensor, such as a
temperature sensor, could use this media type in protocols such as
HTTP or CoAP to transport the measurements of the sensor or to be
configured.

Working Group Summary

The document has gone through multiple expert reviews and
has been discussed on multiple IETF meetings.
The document was not controversial.

potentially including violation of physical security, property damage, and even
loss of life.
