[oslc-core] Proposed agenda items for Wed

[John Arwe]

I will be out that day, but Tuan Dang, chair of Reconciliation, and Steve 
Speicher will be able to manage these easily.

(1) As part of Steve and Jim's review of the draft Reconciliation spec 
[1], Steve suggested changing the vocabulary name.  The Reconciliation WG 
members and several implementation teams have agreed to this, but the 
implementation teams are requesting some assurance that this will be the 
last rename since they will incur costs to change existing documentation 
and potentially (research simply not finished yet) translated message 
strings.  At least 3 product implementations are affected by this (with 
more planned but early enough to be less/not affected), which underscores 
the scope of impact.  [2] is the specification; if you look at the table 
of contents under Resource Definitions, you'll get a feel for the kinds of 
resources.  Steve's suggestion in [1] was to change the vocabulary name 
from "Common Resource Type Vocabulary" to "Common IT Resource Type 
Vocabulary", but if Core has another that it feels is clearer I suspect 
that would be agreeable as well.  In anticipation of the "why not call it 
Reconciliation?" question, the simple answer is that Tivoli expects these 
resource types to be widely re-used across multiple domains, with 
reconciliation being merely one of those.  The Performance Monitoring WG 
is already re-using several terms, despite having no need for 
reconciliation itself.

(2) As a result of the same review, we found that the vocabulary's 
namespace URI is one for which we can find no explicit statement of 
ownership in email archives or Core meeting minutes, so the Reconciliation 
WG would like to request explicit minuted approval from Core to continue 
using http://open-services.net/ns/crtv# for the Common IT Resource Type 
Vocabulary.
