[OSLC-RM] Various updates to the draft spec

[Ian Green1]

Hello all,
there has been a round of updates following some excellent review comments 
from Simon - many thanks to Simon.  Here's a brief summary of these and 
other changes:
        - added  PUT on requirements and links to RmRestApi
        - added dc:contributor to link, requirement and requirement 
collection resources.  This aligns with AM.
        - adopted use of FOAF for dc:creator and dc:contributor.  This 
aligns with AM.
        - added read-only designation to various properties in the 
resource definitions, and updated the REST API to describe what happens 
when a read-only property is "updated".
        - removed the LinkCollection and RequirementCollection vocabulary 
terms: now using rdf:Bag only.  These additional terms in the vocabulary 
were unnecessary.
        - updated the MIME types to include a "1.0" version marker; for 
example, a requirement is now application/x-oslc-rdm-requirement-1.0+xml
        - various typos fixed etc.

I look to Steve and Scott for how we can transition to convergence.  The 
following issue need to be addressed before that happens:
        - the Link vocabulary is in an OSLC "Commons" namespace which I 
proposed speculatively.  (The AM workgroup has adopted the same Link 
resource definition.)  We need agreement from OSLC Architect that this is 
acceptable.  If it is not, I will revert to an RM-specific namespace.


best wishes,
    -ian
