I would like to request Core approval to start up two new working groups to produce domain specifications in the following areas. In both cases, parties (currently non-members) have indicated offline that they would be interested in working on these issues in the context of the OSLC community.
[1] Resource Reconciliation WG Does a monitoring record about a computer system and an asset record about a computer system, taken together, describe one or two computer systems? This is a central issue when the resources described are not themselves electronic documents, be they computer systems, software applications, HTTP servers, whatever. The goal of this effort would be to define a common set of resources, properties, and constraints on property values useful for answering that category of question, so that multiple tools can have a common understanding of the answer when they integrate. [2] Event Management WG What events does an event management system contain about a computer system? Once a human decides that an event occurred "because of" some other event, or that an event "is about" a particular network device, how can another product link to details about the event? The goal of this effort would be to define a common set of resources, properties, and RESTful services useful for answering that category of question, so that multiple tools can have a common answer when they integrate.
