From: Arthur Ryman <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected], [email protected] Date: 03/15/2013 01:22 PM Subject: [Oslc-pm] Proposal to Finalize a Subset of the OSLC EMS 1.0 Vocabulary The OSLC Performance Monitoring 2.0 specification [1] depends on a subset of the OSLC EMS 1.0 vocabulary [2], which is currently in the Convergence phase. The use of these vocabulary terms by OSLC Performance Monitoring 2.0 provides us with enough implementation experience to recommend that we finalize the used subset. The remainder of the vocabulary will remain in the Convergence phase until we get similar implementation experience. Based on discussions with Steve Speicher, we've decided to maintain a single namespace for OSLC EMS 1.0, and to allow its terms to be at various phases of approval. This approach follows the way that the FOAF vocabulary is managed. [3] In FOAF, each term has a "Status", which is a value such as "testing", or "stable". FOAF uses the vocabulary vs: " http://www.w3.org/2003/06/sw-vocab-status/ns#"; and the property vs:term_status="testing". [4] I'll use the standard OSLC lifecycle phases: "Scope", "Draft", "Converge", "Finalize", and "Final" as the values for vs:term_status. [5] I have created a wiki page that lists the proposed subset. [6] I will also be adding indicators to the OSLC EMS 1.0 vocabulary document to clearly define the approval status of each term. All terms except the requested subset will be marked as "Converge". The requested subset will be marked as "Finalize". Please reply to this list with your comments, concerns, and feedback.
