Agenda

• Issue: with the Use of dcterms:title and dcterms:description with oslc:ResponseInfo
  • http://open-services.net/pipermail/oslc-core_open-services.net/2010-November/000638.html
  • Martin pointed out that there is no problem here because of the oslc.paging=true URL query string key/value pair
• Issue: clarification needed for the oslc:totalCount property of a oslc:ResponseInfo type resource.
  • Not clear whether this is number of triples or number of resources (grouped triples) that match

• Proposed Schedule for Workgroup December 2010 - January 2011
  • Dec 1 - Discuss schedule. Check!
  • Dec 8 - Multi-typed resources, Jim Conallen
    • There will be cases where a resource is of multiple rdf:types but we have no guidance on how this situation should be handled. Jim will lead a discussion to explain the related scenarios, the open issues and his recommendations for Core and/or other Domain work-group activities around this topic.
  • Dec 15 - OSLC Primer, Dave Johnson
    • Consensus is that we need an approachable introduction for those new to OSLC, one designed for developers who understand web development but may be new to REST, HTTP, RDF and other foundational technologies. Dave will explain his proposed outline and seek feedback.
  • Jan 5 - Baselining, Nick Crossley
    • Baselining is an important topic in the PLM and other work-groups. There are different use cases and terminologies. Nick will explain the current situation and lead a discussion on how baselining should fit into the OSLC specs
  • Jan 12 - Comments / Discussions, Steve Speicher, John Vasta
    • The OSLC Core spec includes Comments and Discussion resources but they have not been widely adopted. Steve and John will cover the state of union in regard to comments/discussions and lead a discussion of options for moving forward.
  • Jan 19 - Test Suite, Steve Speicher
    • Test Suite code should be contributed by this time and Steve will explain what is there, how it works and lead a discussion of next steps for improving test coverage and consumability.
  • Jan 26 - Reference Implementation, Dave Johnson
    • OSLC RI code should be contributed by this time and Dave will explain what is there, how it works and lead a discussion of next steps for improving the RI implementation and consumability.
  • Feb 2 - Attachments (Dave Johnson)
    • We use a number of patterns for storing non OSLC defined resources (e.g. JAR files, images, video and Word processing files) and then annotating them with properties. Dave will explain the patterns in use and propose an outline for guidance on the topic.

• Proposed outline for OSLC Primer document
  • Any feedback before I flesh this out for next week?
