Agenda

Review actions from past week

AI: Steve to propose better description in Appendix A for oslc:serviceProvider (cases when there can be > 1)

http://open-services.net/pipermail/oslc-core_open-services.net/2010-September/000572.html

oslc:serviceProvider The scope of a resource is a link to the resource's OSLC Service Provider. There may be cases when the subject resource is available from a service provider that implements multiple domain specifications, which could result in multiple values for this property.

AI: Dave J improve range description in Core spec:

Range (String): for properties with a resource value-type, OSLC specifications should also specify the range of possible resource classes allowed. This can be specifed as any or as a list of one or more resource classes specified by Prefixed Name. Best practices for specifying range are covered in the OSLC Core Links Guidance? document

AI: Dave J improve Link Guidance in light of this discussion

Relationships in OSLC resources are at their simplest an RDF property whose object is a URI. Some properties require and assume a resource of a particular type as the target for a given link type. In general however, it is desired not to make type assumptions on the target of links and especially those that point to resources controlled by other systems. The property's purpose and name should clearly reflect the scenarios it is supporting. Since the usage of these relationship properties may exist for a long period of time, specification authors should use great care in determining these.

AI: Dave J to explain meaning of Common properties and especially occurs properties

This is a list of common properties and resources that are defined by or used by the Core spec. Unlike the rest of the Core specification, this Appendix will change and grow as new common properties are added by the Core workgroup. The properties that we list here are available for use in defining OSLC resources, but this does not mean that they are required to be in OSLC resources.

Scott B: setup Namespace URIs on open-services.net
