[Oslc-Automation] Adoption issues with inputParameter and outputParameter

[Pramod K Chandoria]

Hi All,
The current definition of inputParameter (
http://open-services.net/ns/auto/auto.html#inputParameter) and 
outputParameter is that it is a reference to a resource of type 
ParameterInstrance.
I think we all understand that no service providers really support a 
separate resource for these parameters. They are just inline in nature. 
Therefore we decided that such parameters will be often be inline 
parameters in the document. 
However while implementing this feature , I figured out I really need to 
have a unique URI if I use resource model, otherwise rdf/xml document can 
not be generated. 

Provided that  I want to know if any one have done successful 
implementation for these parameters? 

Example to use the ParameterInstance approach, I really need to have a URI 
as shown below.

<oslc_auto:inputParameter rdf:resource="Some Unique URI for parameter 
Instance"/>

<rdf:Description rdf:about="AutomationRequest unique URI">
...
   <oslc_auto:inputParameter rdf:about="Some Unique URI for parameter 
Instance say InputParamURI1"/>
...
</rdf:Description>

<rdf:Description rdf:about="InputParamURI1">
  <oslc:name rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string
">BuildLocation</oslc:name>
  <rdf:value rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string">foo 
Path</rdf:value>
  <rdf:type rdf:resource="
http://open-services.net/ns/auto#ParameterInstance"/>
</rdf:Description>

Any inputs on it

Regards,
