[Oslc-communications] [new oslc wg] Gauging interest in two new working groups

[John Arwe]

(I did fix the forum URL below in this copy - my original post to core was 
to the wrong section under Forums/Specs - the new URL points to "Proposals 
for new specifications" which was the intended home for responses to both 
threads)

I am wondering how much community interest there would be in forming 
working groups in the following topic areas.  This is not a formal 
proposal of any kind, although I used a past one to give them some basic 
structure.  If there appears to be sufficient interest in either or both, 
then we can make a proposal at some future time. 
Since there is a forum area for discussion of new working groups, 
discussion should take place at 
http://open-services.net/forums/viewforum/16/ 
The text below substantially reproduces the content. 
Area 1: Resource Reconciliation 
Does a monitoring record about a computer system and an asset record about 
a computer system, taken together, describe one or two computer systems? 
This is a central issue when the resources described are not themselves 
electronic documents, be they computer systems, software applications, 
HTTP servers, whatever. 
The goal of this effort would be to define a common set of resources, 
properties, and constraints on property values useful for answering that 
category of question, so that multiple tools can have a common 
understanding of the answer when they integrate. 


Area 2: Event Management 
What events does an event management system contain about a computer 
system?  Once a human decides that an event occurred "because of" some 
other event, or that an event "is about" a particular network device, how 
can another product link to details about the event? 

The goal of this effort would be to define a common set of resources, 
properties, and RESTful services useful for answering that category of 
question, so that multiple tools can have a common answer when they 
integrate.
