review outstanding PRs and issues

group    

Changed types #49 - The PR has approval from Colin and Riko with some minor cleanup needed (upper case string to lower case string, etc.). Given the positive review Nick did the merge and closed associated issue 48.

Fix issue #44  - This was regarding context resolution PR 51 and included work to improve context resolution, adding the findIntentsByContext method, which simplifies the intention. Other changes need to merge into this PR and then it can be merged.

Use Cases

@Former user (Deleted)

Kat presented FDC3 Use Cases relevant for API

General discussion:

• The group discussed whether the use cases were organised according to functionality or users and how FDC3 output (APIs, Context...) is expected to help address the use cases, which is a helpful way of framing WG discussions.

• There is currently no priority for the use cases (i.e. which could drive required features to be delivered from FDC3 WGs) and Kat will take this back to the FDC3 Use Cases WG.

• Considered the importance and usefulness of having the use cases in a GitHub repo, which should be doable and FDC3 Use Cases can work with Mao (FINOS) to set this up.

Use Cases presented/discussed:

• Use Case1: Equity Sell Side Trader - Noted that updates in one app use context to update all other apps with different symbols.

• Use Case 2: Buy Side Portfolio Manager - Involves desktop and mobile elements. Interop is the user launching a 3rd party chat tool with an analyst requiring interop w/in the terminal and to an external app.

• Use Case 4: Client-side FX Trader Credit Check - Interesting use case that is supported by FDC3 and would leverage intents, although not specifically what FDC3 was envisioned for.

• Use Case 13: User launches multiple apps from same platform in one container - Question about whether this relates more to a technical container or user experience container.

• Use Case 5: Buy side Treasurer,  client rates across providers - trading aggregator connects with trades from a corporate treasurer.

• Use Case 3: In house cross platform Launcher - Leslie to present at another time.

• Use Case 15: Sales Floor Base Workflow - Hold for another time.

OSSF Update

• Nick noted that on Thursday, the second day of OSSF, a room would be blocked out for an FDC3 mini summit, where WGs across FDC3 could review current state.

• The group can suggest topics, which can then be prioritized for breakout sessions, including one on documentation. 

• An agenda will be set for the day based on priorities.
