[OSLC-QM] [OSLC] OSLC QM 1.0 specification

Fri Dec 11 09:31:09 EST 2009

Jim,

In RDF, the data model is a set of triples, and there is no implied 
ordering of the triples. The ordering must be stated explicitly. You could 
define a your own "order" property whose value was an integer. Or you 
could use the built-in properties, rdf:_1, rdf:_2, ... which RDF/XML makes 
easy to use via rdf:li in rdf:Seq.

You could also use XML literal property values where appropriate since 
ordering is significant in XML in general.

Re: [OSLC] OSLC QM 1.0 specification

When managing multi-valued properties in this way, is ordering implied by 
order in the document?  For example in UML Models of operations, the order 
of parameters of an operation is important.

Inserting new values in a specific position would naturally require the 
entire document to be PUT back, with the new property inserted in the 
correct place.  Or perhaps some other more elaborate mechanism could be 
invented to allow the insertion or deletion of specific values.

This design adopts the design for multi-valued properties documented in 
the CM spec. I don't think this is a good design and we shouldn't 
propagate it. The OSLC estimation workgroup is doing this the "right" way, 
as shown in this example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
  xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
  xmlns:ems="http://open-services.net/software-metrics/">
  <ems:Project
     rdf:about="http://braintwistors.example.com/ems/v1.0/Project/4201">
     <dc:title>Tsunami 1.0</dc:title>
     <dc:description>
        The goal of ... 
     </dc:description>
     ...
     <ems:hasEstimate
        rdf:resource="
http://braintwistors.example.com/ems/v1.0/Estmate/4203" />
     <ems:hasEstimate
        rdf:resource="
http://braintwistors.example.com/ems/v1.0/Estmate/4204" />
     ...
     <!-- other properties of this project resource have been omitted for 
brevity -->
  </ems:Project>
</rdf:RDF>

In other words, a multi-valued property is just what it says - a property 
with multiple values, as illustrated here by "ems:hasEstimate". You do not 
introduce a separate collection resource with separate link resources - 
that design is not in the spirit of REST, it's just an old-fashioned OO 
programming API exposed via http.

The OSLC Quality Management V1 specification is available at :
http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/QmSpecificationV1

I would like to thank the Quality Management workgroup members (BigLever,
IBM, Sogeti, and Tieto) for their participation in the workgroup and
contributions to the specification.  The broader OSLC community is invited
to view the specification and provide any feedback in the wiki or via the
oslc-qm at open-services.net mailing list.  The Quality Management V2
specification effort is expected to get underway soon so any feedback on
the V1 specification will be especially valuable.

Best wishes.
