[oslc-core] Adding vocabulary terms to OSLC RM namespace

[Ian Green1]

Hello all

The RM workgroup has identified the need for some vocabulary elements that 
have not been specified in any known published vocabulary.

In brief, we'd like to extend the OSLC RM vocabulary with two predicates:

        oslc_rm:elaborates
        oslc_rm:specifies

The question is: how should the RM workgroup proceed in order that these 
additional vocabulary terms be published as part of the OSLC family of 
specifications. 

We are not considering a change to the 2.0 specification, rather the 
creation of a new specification, or some formally defined extension, say, 
OSLC RM 2.1, which would additionally document these terms.  It seems 
rather onerous to have to go through the full OSLC process for such a 
change.  Considering this to be a new "specification" seems excessive, but 
it is not clear to me that there is any other way for OSLC to release 
materials.

Any views on how to proceed?

best wishes,
    -ian
