[oslc-core] Proposal for Issue-25: Encoding of UI preview label

[John Arwe]

The revised text is cut off on the right (description) in the PDF.

From what I can see in the draft:

dcterms:title as string instead of XML literal seems consistent with its 
Dublin Core definition [1] which says range=rdf:Literal

Provider’s should not be possessive (lose the apostrophe).

Not clear why we're saying that it MUST be HTML-escaped ... that would 
imply that the string is in fact always (X)HTML.  Certainly true that its 
value would have to be XML-escaped as part of serializing it into a 
well-formed XML document (I'm not sure of the relationship between 
HTML-escaping and XML-escaping to the required level of precision, is one 
a proper subset of the other?).

oslc:shortTitle as string instead of XML literal seems consistent with 
dcterms:title, which seems to be important given its description [2].


Both value type changes might be seen as incompatible by some observers. 
Do we have reason to think that this change is either compatible upon 
closer inspection, or it's worth the pain (potential breakage) in existing 
implementations?  Just asking in the hopes that analysis has been done... 
I know from personal experience that sometimes the obvious turns out to be 
false upon deeper thinking.

See attached proposal writeup.  I am intentionally trying to provide a 
minimal fix and not open another can of worms. 

I will proceed with making this change unless I hear any objections on 
call today or via email by July 5.
