I would expect the oslc:domain property of oslc:ServiceProviderCatalog and oslc:Service would assist a client to determine if it fetches the item what it should expect(which domain spec it supports). Perhaps it would be good to add oslc:domain property to oslc:ServiceProvider resource definition, so a client would know what domain that service provider comes from.
