[oslc-cm] Fw: [oslc-core] Meeting notes and using rdf:RDF as root element (impact to CM 2.0 XML formats)

[Steve K Speicher]

Please raise any concerns, looking for feedback.

I wanted to make sure OSLC-CM 2.0 implementers are aware of this change. 
This affects all 2.0-based XML representations: ChangeRequest, 
ServiceProviderCatalog, ServiceProvider, etc.

To be clear, OSLC's RDF/XML constrained format for a ChangeRequest would 
look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rdf:RDF
  xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
  xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/terms/"
  xmlns:oslc="http://open-services.net/ns/core#" 
  xmlns:oslc_cm="http://open-services.net/ns/cm#" 
  xmlns:ex="http://example.com/bugtracker">

  <oslc_cm:ChangeRequest rdf:about="http://example.com/bugs/2314">

    <dcterms:title> Provide import </dcterms:title>

...end so on

Thanks,
