[oslc-core] Tracked Resource Set: trs:change vs trs:changes

[Vivek Garg]

Tracked Resource Set specification 2.0 [1] defines the trs:changes 
property, a multi-valued property, to specify a list of change events. An 
example from the spec is as follows:

<http://cm1.example.com/trackedResourceSet>
  a trs:TrackedResourceSet ;
  trs:base <http://cm1.example.com/baseResources> ;
  trs:changeLog [
    a trs:ChangeLog ;
    trs:changes <#3>, <#2>, <#1>.
  ] .

If the abbreviated form of trs:changes was expanded, it would look as 
follows:

<http://cm1.example.com/trackedResourceSet>
  a trs:TrackedResourceSet ;
  trs:base <http://cm1.example.com/baseResources> ;
  trs:changeLog [
    a trs:ChangeLog ;
    trs:changes <#3>;
    trs:changes <#2>;
    trs:changes <#1>.
  ] .

Since each property is an entry for a single change, my suggestion is that 
we use trs:change as the property name instead of the plural form. This 
suggestion was originally made by Joe Ross in Lifecycle Query WG call. I 
am re-surfacing it for consideration by the Core WG.
