[oslc-core] Comment on ResourceShape resources

[Arthur Ryman]

Dave,

Tack and worked on the definition of Shape resources many months ago, 
possible before your took on your current role. Shape was part of the 
Reporting spec and later got moved into the Core. The current version in 
the Core spec has been heavily edited and rdf:predicate now appears 
(incorrectly) where we had a previous OSLC property name.  Perhaps Tack 
has a copy of the original design of Shape.

I can't keep up with all the edits. It would be good if we could establish 
some type of change control, e.g. an SCM and bug tracker.

Regards,

Thanks for pointing that out Arthur. I'm not paying close enough
attention and/or I'm forgetting the history around this issue. Ian
suggested rdf:predicate to replace rdf:type, which we have been using
in the spec for some time -- and it is also the wrong property.

Looking back at older versions of the Core spec, I do not see the OSLC
property that you mention. What property are you suggesting that we
use here?

Thanks,
- Dave
