[oslc-core] Issue: do we really need 4 resource value-types?

[Arthur Ryman]

Nick/Dave,

The EMS 1.0 spec uses them.

BTW, the inline and local terms are just ways of talking about blank 
nodes. RDF leads you to the introduction of blank nodes. If we change 
anything, maybe we should simply stop trying to shield people from RDF and 
get them to learn the real terms instead of inventing new ones to reduce 
RDF-shock. Perhaps we are replacing it with OSLC-shock?

Regards,

We use Resource, Inline Resource, and Local Inline Resource in SCM (I 
think!)

I like the four value-types that Arthur proposed and they've been in
the spec draft for some time now, but I wonder: do we need them all?

Here's an issue I just raised on the issues page:

  1 OPEN We have defined value-types Resource, Inline Resource, Local
Resource and Local Inline Resource. Do we really truly need all of
these types? We want representation to be simple and use flat
name/value property model, so should we give them all these value
types? Can we live without Local Resource? What about Local Inline
Resource? Do we have use cases to support these things?

     * Response: pending...

Any opinions on this?

Thanks,
Dave
