resource definitions

Workgroup reviewed proposed resource definitions using Google spreadsheet 
provided by Robert Elves.
Resource attributes need additional meta-data such as whether the 
attribute is required or optional, unique or non-unique, and so forth
Notes on specific attributes:
Applies to most(all?) resources:
Id : "ugly" identifier for resource - usually a UUID or similar (required, 
unique)
key : user friendly identifier (optional but must be unique if present)
summary : text label for resource (required, but can be non-unique)
web url : link to browseable GUI for resource (optional ?)
Applies to AutomationPlan? resource:
dependent plans : list of automation plans that this one is linked with 
(chained plans, child plans, etc.)
Applies to AutomationResult? resource:
automationPlan : link to plan that was executed in order to produce this 
Automation Result - the idea is that a query can be defined to return the 
list of all AutomationResults? produced by executing a 
given AutomationPlan?
reason : why was this execution of the plan triggered? Enum values: 
scheduled, manual, etc.
state : what is the current running lifecycle state of this execution? 
Enum values: pending, started, complete, etc.
verdict : what is the status of the execution? Enum values: failed, 
successful, etc.
Question was raised about how to handle the concept of versions of the 
Automation Plan
Action items for next meeting:
Nick Edgar to update the spreadsheet with resource equivalents for RTC 
that map to proposed resource definitions (DONE)
Leigh Williamson to update the spreadsheet for Build Forge (not done due 
to lack of edit permission on spreadsheet)

Regards,
David
