Names in semconv

TODOs:

• AI weaver - weaver generate should generate new schema behind feature flag - Liudmila will create an issue

Phases:

1. ingest new format
2. resolve new format - need to advertise and socialize
3. modify resolution to be on the new format

signal/object	identity property in semsonv	in proto
metrics	metric_name	name
events/logs	name	event_name
spans	-	- (span name is name)
entity	name	type
profiles	-	-
scopes	-	name
attributes	id and name	key

How it might look like

signal/object	identity property in semsonv	in proto
metrics	name	name
events/logs	name	event_name
spans	type	type (span name is name)
entity	type	type
profiles	name(?)	name(?)
scopes	name	name
attributes	key	key

Also:

• all groups have identity, identity goes over the wire
• for original definition, the name and identity are required to be the same.
• all extensions get new identity, it goes over the wire

Unresolved schema?

Resolved Schema

attributes:
- key: foo.name
- key: foo.target
  ...
metrics:
- name: foo.duration
entities:
- type: foo
events:
- name: foo.ended
spans:
- type: foo.client.request
  kind: client
  name: {foo.name} {foo.target} 

Imports

(by identity)

imports:
- attributes: foo.*
- spans: foo.*

Extensions

Does not change name, gets new identity.

unresolved schema:

metric_refs:
- id: azure.foo.duration
  extends: otel::foo.duration (or otel.foo.duration)
  attributes:
  - attr_ref: azure.resource.id
    brief: ...

resolved schema - need to clean up

metrics:
- id: azure.foo.duration
  extends: otel::foo.duration (or otel.foo.duration)
  attributes:
  - key: azure.resource.id
    id: ?
