Topics

SigMF Specification Design

Description: We spent the majority of the hackfest working on the design of SigMF, both discussing current issues / gaps and working through new features and the direction of the effort. Major accomplishments include:

• A plan for using JSON-LD to link data, provide schema crosswalks, and define machine-parseable extension namespaces.
• The design of a top-level metafile that can be used to describe multi-sensor experiments, while still maintaining the independence of each recording.
• The design of a path to describe the capture hardware for a recording and the experimental setup for a multi-sensor data corpus.
• Numerous other bug fixes and "small" but important details of the specification.

Location: Work is occurring in the SigMF Github repository, and will continue there: https://github.com/gnuradio/SigMF
