The meaning of oslc:allowedValues has not been clearly defined. For example, what does this mean:
<oslc:Property> <oslc:allowedValue>Cardiff</oslc:allowedValue> <oslc:allowedValues rdf:resource="http://doors.example.com/enumerations/UKCities"/> </oslc:Property> where <oslc:AllowedValues rdf:about="http://doors.example.com/enumerations/UKCities";> <oslc:allowedValue>Edinburgh</oslc:allowedValue> <oslc:allowedValue>London</oslc:allowedValue> <oslc:allowedValue>Belfast</oslc:allowedValue> </oslc:AllowedValues> The most obvious interpretation is that the allowable values is the union: {Edinburgh, Belfast, London, Cardiff}. Is the cause that AllowedValues resource has dubious meaning and that multi-valued allowedValue would be clearer, asserted directly on the oslc:Property. Reworking this would be a breaking change to the resource model; but at the least we should give a meaning, or outlaw that construction altogether. best wishes, -ian [email protected] (Ian Green1/UK/IBM@IBMGB) Chief Software Architect, Requirements Definition and Management IBM Rational
