Ok. But, lets keep the *- prefix for generic. Easier to split the fields later in the database, and only 2 bytes extra per record. I'll try to get the server side of this done today. Regards, Mark On 15 Dec, 2012, at 7:19 PM, Michael Balzer <dexter@expeedo.de> wrote:
Too fast... regarding the class definitions, to achieve readability here as well I would then suggest using a 3 letter abbreviation.
...main classes:
Power PWR Engine ENG Transmission TRX Chassis CHS Body BDY Electrics ELC
...auxiliary classes?
Safety SAF (Chassis, Body, Electrics) Security SEC (Power?, Body, Electrics) Comfort CMF (Chassis, Body, Electrics) Entertainment ENT (Body, Electrics) Communication COM (Body, Electrics)
Also I would prefer "-" as a separator over ".".
For my current application (battery pack + cell data), that would result in type codes...
RT-PWR-BattPack RT-PWR-BattCell
...or general form
*-PWR-BattPack *-PWR-BattCell
Btw: general purpose codes could be written without "*-" prefix as well? That would be...
PWR-BattPack PWR-BattCell

Silly me just assumed you'd prefer integer... I'm using text codes in my own DB designs whenever possible due to readability.
In other words: of course! :-)
I'll modify my code now accordingly.

The coding looks good, and sensible.
How about we just make it a text string, rather than integer. Much clearer to read, and almost no impact on size.
VV.C.P
VV the normal vehicle types, or '*' for generic. C your class P your property

type (integer type code) For general purpose type codes, maybe some classification scheme would make sense? Maybe adopt some standard scheme already defined for automotive data? ...if there is one...
It seems there is none suitable, so here's my attempt at defining one. Please comment.
Regards, Michael
Type classification scheme: id size: 32 bit integer
Generic / standard props:
0x 0000 C PPP
Vehicle specific props:
0x VVVV C PPP
VVVV = Vehicle ID 0001 = Tesla Roadster 0002 = Tesla Model S 0003 = GM Volt / Opel Ampera 0004 = Renault Twizy ...
C = Class:
...main classes:
0 = Power 1 = Engine 2 = Transmission 3 = Chassis 4 = Body 5 = Electrics
...auxiliary classes?
6 = Safety (Chassis, Body, Electrics) 7 = Security (Power?, Body, Electrics) 8 = Comfort (Chassis, Body, Electrics) 9 = Entertainment (Body, Electrics) a = Communication (Body, Electrics)
b = reserved c = reserved d = reserved e = reserved f = reserved
PPP = Property ...allowing for 4096 properties per class.
