Finalization issues

This section tracks finalization issues, some of which have been or will be reflected in changes above.

These are the issues raised during the development of the OSLC Core spec up to finalization time.

If there is a #num next to the status, this represents the issue # from the previous wiki page

Note: dates below use US format (mm/dd/yyyy)

Here’s what the states mean:

• OPEN - indicates that we have no response for the issue yet
• RESOLVED - indicates that we have a response that we believe resolves the issue
• CLOSED - issue has been resolved and the resolution has been reviewed by the WG
• DEFERRED - indicates that issue will be addressed in Core Guidance v1.0 during the month after the Core Specification is final.
• TABLED - indicates that issue will be reconsidered at some later but unspecified date

    • Response TBD
14. OPEN #46 Resource shapes provide no way to represent an RDF Plain Literal, only typed literals - (JohnArwe for ArthurRyman, 2012-07-11)
    • Response TBD

After finalization changes

These are the corrections and clarifications made to the spec since it exited finalization, became final.

See CLOSED items above with FIXED subheadings.

1. Changed #oslc-postMessage-1.0 to #oslc-core-postMessage-1.0 in the Delegated UI section.

3. Changed oslc:usage value-type from String to Resource with representation Reference.
4. Appendix A: clarified property oslc:isMemberPropertiy with “For the purposes of the OSLC Query Syntax, indicates that the property is used to state membership of a resource in a collection. It is used when you filter a collection resource with a query.”

7. Appendix A: clarified property dcterms:title with “Title of the resource shape. SHOULD include only content that is valid and suitable inside an XHTML element.”

12. Appendix B: changed xmlns:foaf="http://http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/" to xmlns:foaf="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/".
13. Appendix A: clarified description of oslc:instanceShape to explain its purpose
14. Appendix A: clarified description of oslc:serviceProvider to explain what it means to have more than one
15. In Defining OSLC Resources section, added reference to OSLC Link Guidance in description of Range
16. Appendix A: Clarified introduction to explain that common properties available for use in domain specs, not required
17. Glossary of Terms: Changed definition of OSLC Resource to read “a resource that is either defined by an OSLC specification, see OSLC Defined Resources below”
18. Resource Paging: Added clarification and fixed terminology regarding usage of oslc:ResponseInfo
19. Appendix A: Common properties - added rdfs:member
20. Moved OSLC Core Representations Guidance into the Core Spec as Appendix B. What were previously appendices B, C and D have become example pages that are linked to from the new Appendix B.
21. Moved OSLC Core Links Guidance into the Core spec as Appendix C.

29. Query Syntax spec: added requirement that datatypes and operators work as specified by SPARQL
30. Query Syntax spec: changed “Each resource that is returned in the response is annotated with a special property, oslc:score, that gives its match score” to “Each resource that is returned in the response MUST be annotated with a special property, oslc:score, that gives its match score”
31. Appendix A: Common properties - added oslc:discussedBy, in oslc:Comment renamed oslc:discussion to oslc:partOfDiscussion and fixed some column for Read-only.
32. Appendix A: oslc:Property property oslc:allowedValue had wrong occurs of zero-or-one, should be zero-or-many. This was an authoring error, as clearly this was to be a multi-valued property.
