    For the spans implementation, let’s consider implications on PI, OCS and EDS. E.g. how does the data source represent spans and/or how does the OMF application recognize these spans? Who / what uses the span data? How does the thing using the span data represent a span and associated data? Do we have scenarios with non-time based spans for OCS and EDS?
