[Oslc-Automation] Actions 2.0 action on 8.2 (profile identifiers)

[Martin P Pain]

Any idea/suggestions on how that would best be presented in the spec? 
Perhaps like this image here?

(For those who are reading on the list in text-only mode, the image is 
available here:

Additionally including the links between profiles & patterns (although 
introducing redundancy) might help demonstrate the difference & 
relationship between the two. But it might leave readers wondering "How do 
I use that identifier? Does it relate to a URI I need in the 
implementation somewhere?" if we go ahead with this, we should perhaps 
include a suggestion of how to use the identifiers in [1] (i.e. "they will 
look at the documentation and see that a consumer supports a given set of 
profiles of the OSLC Actions specification, such as 'this software is an 
OSLC Actions provider that supports OSLC Actions specification profile 
'profile_post_rdf' ("POST RDF described by an oslc resource shape to the 
action resource") for all actions'.") then make the word "identifier" in 
the above image a link to that section.

Does anyone think this adds to or subtracts from the spec? I can 
definitely see what Ian's getting at, perhaps it's just getting that 
sentence in the previous paragraph correct - that is, the suggestion on 
how to use the identifier.
