Any idea/suggestions on how that would best be presented in the spec? Perhaps like this image here?
(For those who are reading on the list in text-only mode, the image is available here: http://open-services.net/wiki/automation/622c751da3c971bab5d93ad0790ef8c0) Additionally including the links between profiles & patterns (although introducing redundancy) might help demonstrate the difference & relationship between the two. But it might leave readers wondering "How do I use that identifier? Does it relate to a URI I need in the implementation somewhere?" if we go ahead with this, we should perhaps include a suggestion of how to use the identifiers in [1] (i.e. "they will look at the documentation and see that a consumer supports a given set of profiles of the OSLC Actions specification, such as 'this software is an OSLC Actions provider that supports OSLC Actions specification profile 'profile_post_rdf' ("POST RDF described by an oslc resource shape to the action resource") for all actions'.") then make the word "identifier" in the above image a link to that section. Does anyone think this adds to or subtracts from the spec? I can definitely see what Ian's getting at, perhaps it's just getting that sentence in the previous paragraph correct - that is, the suggestion on how to use the identifier.
