BACnet

Need to get a BACnet Vendor ID for Drupal ( http://www.bacnet.org/DL-Docs/Procedures-Vendor-ID-rev2-20-09.pdf )

Can I, as organizer for Drupal BACnet Group apply for this?

A BACnet device is any device, real or virtual, that supports digital communication using the BACnet protocol (see www.bacnet.org)

BIG-D has formed to develop integration of BACnet devices with Drupal, and http://groups.drupal.org/node/100434 begins discussion to that end. Are there any 'Service Ninjas' with BACnet experience that can help us out? And/or BACneteers that can help point in the right direction?

BACnet systems play an important role in systems relevant to Energy Management, Renewable Energy, Smart Grid applications and energy efficiency in buildings.

A BOWs module would enable the specification of Data Sharing, Alarm and Event Management, Scheduling, Trending, Device and Network Management. How should we approach development for such a Drupal module(s)?

BACnet Interfaces are plentiful. What is the best way to develop a Drupal module that can fully implement a BACnet interface from any vendors device.

The Services Module (http://drupal.org/project/services) already provides a standardized solution of integrating external applications with Drupal. Service callbacks may be used with multiple interfaces like XMLRPC, JSON, JSON-RPC, REST, SOAP, AMF, etc. This allows a Drupal site to provide web services via multiple interfaces while using the same callback code.

Has anyone used it to bring BACnet data into Drupal?

Is this all that is needed to fully implement BACnet Web Services (ref: http://www.BACnet.org/WG/XML/index.html) into Drupal?
